What you need to know about California's possible ban, regulation of gas-powered garden tools

On behalf of Californians everywhere, I just purchased a 2-stage Ryobi.


I'll weed wack the property line (larger than average plot, lol) every day if it helps the cause!

Well look on the bright side? At least there not trying to ban hammers from being used, as they are a safety hazard to many people. All hammers must be banned. Geez its not like California is any jungle either, its just slowly turning into a desert. And even if they go full green everything powered by the sun and from magic in the air? Everything will still be slowly turning into a desert.

You see there is very little having to do with "Geo" In Geopolitics.

The impact of the landscaping industry in Cali would be unimaginable. You can't just ban stuff without having a viable and cost-efficient replacement.

They're talking about the old model from years ago. New models won't be effected.

Forest Gump type ride on mowers, not anything from the last decade.

All the banning of fossil fuels will cause a crisis and disruption in our lives.

Crisis and disruption will cause innovation to overcome the causes of the crisis and disruption.

Who knows we may find a true alternative energy source and alternative system of governance as a means to replace the fossil fuels that we can no longer use and the politicians that have let us down once again.

so yer saying if Cali stops irrigating lawns they won't hardly need mowers / trimmers?

and they certainly need to save water.

wonder why they aren't considering?

The answer is simple. Astroturf your yard.

Ever looked at the warning label on something as simple as an extension cord? It states that in the state of CA, those items are known to cause birth defects, etc. The state takes ignorance to the extreme.

The joke in calif is companies have to put that prop 65 warnings on EVERYTHING because anyone can sue you if you don't.
In Calif the ink in ink pens causes cancer so every office has to have a prop 65 sign at the door.

Lawyers in Calif tell businesses in Calif to put prop 65 warnings on everything to cover their asses and don't worry if they have nothing covered by the warning.

I am saying that owning a lawmotor in cali is a fad, and that watering there lawns. Is also a fad. A fad they will one day not be able to afford to do.

wonder why they aren't considering?

Because considering implies thinking. And thinking wastes calories duh!

Its much better to water your lawn and trim your bushes. And wait for the magic to happen.
