Bill Bans Gas Generators

What is happening? California enacted AB 1346 (2021 | CA) that prohibits the sale of gas powered lawn equipment and gas powered generators.

Why is this important? The legislation and authors stressed that there are alternatives to gas powered machinery for lawns. However, there is no 24 hour alternative to a gas powered generator.

How will this be important? One size fits all doesn’t work well in legislation. As a result of this bill,  hospitals, homes and businesses in potential wildfire areas have stocked up on gasoline-powered generators
