Wow! If we could have quieter service in TV - wouldn’t that be a dream? California is subsidizing the change over, trying for zero carbon footprint. I’m not complaining but I could get used to not being woken up pretty well every day to the sound of gas powered equipment.

You must sleep late. Most of them don't start mowing until well after 7am. |

That would never fly where we live at our northern home. Try maintaining 10 acres with electric powered equipment. On second thought, it could work, as long as they only banned gas but not diesel.

My 30+ year old Stihl is in the shop needing a few new parts, but CA are just banning the new sales, didn't say you couldn't use one. . . at the moment. They should just stick to lawn mowers and leaf blowers as they are already very many reliable electric options.
They might rethink the gas chainsaws when performing vegetation management around power lines to prevent fires, etc. . . and clearing out round houses . . . not sure where the moderator gets the proactive connection to homeless and non working people with a gas small engine mandate. . . that one escapes me. . . |

7 AM is super early. If I need to be up before 9:30-11:30 I need to set an alarm.

Hope it does not spread, I am heavily invested in my John Deere ride on and my backpack blower. My trimmer is electric though. Down in Florida I have a company doing the lawn.

Makita makes some fine electric yard machines.

Probably only in LA. SD, and SF. No way the farming can go totally electric. What they need to and desert state’s is ban golf courses and swimming pools. they ARE runout or water, no hydroelectric power. Anybody watch golf tournament in Vegas week or so go. Golf course in desert looked better than ones in eastern coastal states.
