    Every gardener in my neighborhood uses the Honda gas mowers. They are not cheap either.

      This is a really drastic move. There are gardening companies that have 10's of 1,000's of dollars of gas powered lawn equipment. This will lead to all kinds of major issues. California is the last place where you want to have the grass getting high.

            I have an electric battery lawn mower. One charge and you get about three cuts for me. Much better then that gas stuff. They are way better. Mostly everyone in our neighborhood has the battery powered.

                Reasonably priced and very quiet. Less maintenance.
                I will be going battery on my next one.

                        I'm saving my money up for some of that Pacific Ocean Nevada beach front property that'll become available soon.
                        God I can't wait for the day that smelly state crumbles into the ocean.

                                Less gas, but a shit-ton more batteries for the landfills.

                                  This is just the sale, not the use.

                                  Also, the state is giving away $30 million to companies who buy new electrical equipment.
                                  This is classic California thinking: just throw money at it and everything will be okay.

                                    They called the election minutes after poles closed.

                                    He gets more votes in recall than when he was voted back in.

                                    Really?


                                    There is something fishy about elections

                                      Relax. 99% of yall dont live here. Cali doing great and will be fine.

                                      I get that yall hate your lives and are wallowing in the shit of your poor decisions but don't project your toxicity on us as a state. Again, we're doing fine.

                                      Sure, people hate Newsom. Think he does a terrible job. Thats goes with the territory. Not a governor in the US that people dont feel the same about.

                                      Focus your energy inward and be a better person, and you're eyes will open to a whole new more colorful world where you'll see that Cali is actually just fine. And that all along it was you not doing fine.

                                              Even golf carts?

                                              This is a serious question as I know nothing about golf carts, but I see the gas golf carts are also banned.

                                              And gas powered chainsaws. Wtf

                                                they can still use them right?

                                                just can't buy new ones

                                                if you choose to not move away from that shithole and you have a small business that relies on these machines, you better take care of your current equipment and find a GREAT repair shop

                                                  The sun controls our climate. If the sun was hollow, a million earths could fit inside. Whether or not we use gas-powered lawn mowers won't do jack shitte to our climate. When the sun dies (and it will) the earth is doomed. Thinking that tiny humans can do anything to control the sun's power over us is moronic.

                                                    lithium mine in Chile

                                                    mining produces over half of the planet's greenhouse emissions

                                                    you have to move on average 500,000 lbs. of earth to get the materials for 1 car battery

                                                    that battery is not recyclable

                                                    so much better

                                                      Because your lawn is the size of a car.

                                                          That’s what i have. My father in law, GOP all the way but moved here from L.A. a few years back and acts like I am a complete degenerate for still using gas powered lawn equipment.

                                                            I have a fairly big backyard. Electric charge lasts 45 minutes. It came with two batteries. I used gas for years. I prefer the electric now.

                                                              Everything is going electric. Where do you think all of that electricity comes from? Pollution spewing power plants. California isn't doing itself any favors here, they already have razor thin margins for electrical consumption with the need or rolling blackouts during the summer.

                                                              I've never seen a place so desperate to be green but not be able to make the pollution numbers of a general tractor pulling contest in Iowa. The wild fires every year alone put them in one of the highest per capita state for polluters but hey as long as your not burning fuel I guess everything is good.

It doesn't go into effect for a few years and it would not include your 1980 lawn mower you currently have. Why do you get so triggered over stuff that don't involve you? When is the last time you mowed a lawn? You don't even have a lawn in North Santa Monica.
