It already takes a permit to install a Generator of 50HP or more in Ca. and approval can take up to a year.
I would rather see just banning 2 cycle gas engines, some Motorcycles and many and dirt bikes, along with a lot of lawn equipment use these super polluters.

In mean time we are being sprayed like rabits from the air and NO one is allowed to comment. All one has to do is to look up and voila there they go again. Clean air good by. Going after mc, lawnmowers and life saving generators...what will the idiots try to pass on people next?

That truck was why I purchased Ford stock earlier this year and have been quite happy with the returns but the truck itself is a relatively expensive purchase.

I had rental properties in Richmond VA for many years, all of my typically "gas-powered" tools, chain saw, hedge trimmer, and lawnmower, had extension cords and started with a 110 Volt click of the on-off switch. When away from Richmond VA and living in Florida the battery on my VA rental work truck was charged with a solar cell in a garage window, ready to start the truck when needed.
Stimulated by this topic, I thought, well, this condo is wired for MaBell phones and with a solar-charged battery system, I could hook into the unused wires and have LED lighting through. One auto-battery would light my condo for weeks [?].
When in Phx AZ I consulted on the permitting of a large silicon wafer plant. One question posed at a public hearing was regarding the hydrocarbon emissions of the plant, which were virtually nonexistent. My reply was that in each garage there is a can of fuel and the evaporation from those cans amounted to 1000 times more than the plant. The fuel burned in the home devices, was inefficient and the exhaust was horrific when considered as a whole, especially when all were used on some Saturday morning.
Yep, go electric. And the electricity should be renewable and perhaps generated by a Thorium/Uranium safe reactor which consumes the waste from the dangerous old water-cooled systems like Chernobyl, Three-Mile, and Fukushima. Worse yet was "The Day We Almost Lost Detroit." Fermi-one was a Sodium Cooled Plutonium Fast Breeder Reactor ... stray sheet metal from construction plugged the cooling system [so claimed] and the system could have exploded sending deadly plutonium into the inversion cold winter day Detroit atmosphere.

USA developed Thorium Reactors in the 1960's Nixon pleasing his contributors [Bribery for sure] declared that all history should be destroyed and we went with water-cooled. The history illegally was hidden by the researchers and in the 21 century published. USA has not allowed work because they are not up to water cooling standards .. which of course do not apply!! Other countries are working on Thorium Safe reactors example.. China is using our technology which we will not allow here at home.

“Relatively Expensive” seems a bit understated. When some pick-‘em-up trucks are selling (!) for upwards of $80 000 -$ ‘I’d guess’ >$60 000+- for an EV Truck would not be excessive.
(Still . . . It would be > 1/3 of what we paid for our HOUSE.)

It appears the avowed purpose of all these “Greenie” proposals is to drive rational and sensible self-reliant types from the state. No generators. No leaf-blowers. No mulchers. No chainsaws. No rototillers. No edging trimmers. No _____, No ______, No _____.
Pretty soon no blanking-people!
Just an Overage of politicians and enforcement-weenies to spy, cite and fine.
And lots of indigents sucking at the governments teats.

Trouble is they are flocking to Idaho in droves. Driving up house prices wildly with above asking bidding wars. And they bring their stupid politics with them.

There are still no full sized four wheel drive EV pickups. Also, so far they do not have enough range. And, finally most of us do not purchase new pickups. We buy used and pay far less than the retail price for a new truck.
And, on top of that, you can get a top of a line pickup for less than a top of the line Tesla.

Yeah that is the deal, some of use live on SSI and a modest investment account, throwing out 50 to 100K on a truck seems to be a bit of an overreach. The government is going to give us a CPI raise that amounts to about 1/2 of the inflation rate, I suspect this will be the case for years to come.

Did anyone ever stop to think that those leaving might be Conservatives looking for representation?

You quickly see how stupid the hippies running California can be. Probably none of them have ever had a blue collar job so they have no idea how things really are.

Why would California elect Newsome, a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth?

Sometimes I think everyone in office in Calif. is connected and outsiders won't stand a chance.
