AB-1346 - Gas-Powered Small Engine Ban

[Buster Highmen]

Think of the opportunities for electric pisten bullies.

[Timberridge]

Sirderpsalot, ScottieBthesenileincel, and timberridge are here to add their “expertise” I see. Truly the dumbest of fucks.


California regulations are funny because they roll on and every year the same morons complain about the new ones.

Show some goddamn respect and please capitalize the T. Timberridge is a proper noun.

A clarification that I didn’t get in the initial reading. This is only banning the sale of new equipment.

Your sister told me and Butters to say hello to you.

I will be starting a new business in San Diego where I sell "used" small engine devices. Just get them from TJ after they have been started couple times in my small Mexican warehouse.

Heading to San Diego to buy my new snowblower.

Hahaha

I see NY on that list in the article. That kinda sux. At this point we're down to just the generator and a leaf blower for gas powered small engine stuff. I guess I should start stocking up on the 50:1 fuel for the blower before it gets (even more) expensive.

poetry bud
are you having a bad friday?

The EGO. I’d buy it again, but having a small ecosystem of their tools makes it more livable. I have a total of 4 batteries (the blower takes two) so I can do an entire 6” storm only stopping once to swap batteries on my pretty big driveway/parking pad and have enough left over to clear the walkways and deck too. This last storm has me looking at buying a couple more 7.5AH batteries but damn if they aren’t expensive, and TBH I didn’t mind taking a recharge break; I had enough juice to establish access so we could come and go.

Which model?

Sounds like electric snowblowers kinda rule out helping the neighbors if you gotta recharge all the time. Unless you have a Pisten Bully.

[BmillsSkier]

Not if its an electric Pisten Bully.

Range is an issue. Though in my old neighborhood I would have had enough juice to clear mine and two other neighbors no problem. I have a pretty good sized driveway and parking pad to clear.

Note, not this old neighborhood:

In my old neighborhood…

Haha. That is 100% going to be the new racket. The CL/FBM "used" small engine market's bout to get hudge.

Huh? Spare batteries charging while you are clearing snow would solve this. Kinda like having a tank of gas in the wings, no?

[BmillsSkier]

This is really going to affect the lesbostrap9000 market, isn't it?

[fatnslow]

On a serious note where are we getting all the electricity when cars, semis and small engines go electric ? Does CA have a new source of power that I'm not aware of at this point ? Oregon just passed a useless symbolic bill stating no more new gas cars sold after 2035 but nobody talks about the back end. Peeps like my wife can't/won't conceptualize what the big energy demand increase does to the grid. I'm all for getting off fossil fuel but let's be real here.

Right. I think with a third set I’d be able to just keep on a-blowin’. But that sounds miserable.

It’s cold out there.

Get on your fat asses and ride!



Something like this actually wouldn’t be a bad thing in snow country.

duh

have you gotten a natural gas bill lately
it was all planned out convert to natural gas cause it's clean you know and natural cut out all coal cause its bad throw in some windmills unicorns and rainbows and a couple solar panels that dont do shit and it all works out we can power the country on electricity

it's great cause you don't normally see where electric is produced so it's a out of sight out of mind kinda thing

it works out for the natural gas companies thats about it since people like t boone pickens sold the country on this bullshit
now that we produce energy mostly on natural gas (remember it's natural and clean) they have cornered the market and are now jacking the prices up as high as they can since we all rely on this clean energy to power our electric cars and every other thing around us

I dunno. My gas blower gets 3-4 driveways done on 1/4-1/3 gallon in maybe 30-45 mins. How many batteries at $160 per ($250 for EGO brand) would I need to do that? I don't have all day.

Nuclear. But we had better get our shit together presently, 'cause that shit doesn't just build itself in a week.

Build it in CA and we can call it Fukashima II.

I have a hunch that AB-1346 is written by well-healed politicians (many from mild climes like LA), who have never and will never shovel or blow snow themselves. Let alone used a leaf blower, trimmer, etc. One thing that's always thrown me for a loop with Californians is just how many of them have gardeners! Like even kinda average people. And the ones who have 2nd homes around Tahoe or Big Bear probably have snow removal service too. So I think a LOT of people there are so far removed from the actual issue, they're like "What's the big deal?"
