As a retired electrician can tell you that ultility companies will never have the generators or distribution network to power up all electric homes. If a home owner that has 2 EV cars would need at least a 300 amp service to handle the 80 to 130 amos needed for electric heat, 35 amps for range 25 amps for dryer, 24 to 40 amps for water heater, 60 to 90 amps for 2 EV chargers and 25 amps for general load ( refrigerator, frezer, TV'S , LED lights etc ). A friend drove his EV car on vacation. Nearest EV charging station was almost 2 miles away. Had to wait over a hour before somebody was finished charging then moving their EV. So he had to leave it then take a cab back to motel. Then pay for another cab to take him to pick up car. He took cabs rest of week to resturants & shopping. Money he saved in gasoline only covered a small portion of cab fares.
Someone needs to create a petition to appeal this bill. Gas powered equipment is better than electric because of the lifespan of battery powered equipment. This will hurt many people, one of my close friends has a lawn care/landscape maintenance business and I feel for him and other lawn care/landscape maintenance businesses big and small. I've never seen an electric chainsaw with a bar bigger than 20", or an electric rototiller, or stump grinder
Kyle, the reality is. We can't have a sustainable and habitable planet by continuing to rely on not only limited, but climate change contributing focal fuels. Especially with maintaining our outdoor spaces. The outdoor equipment manufacturers (Sthil, Husqvarna, Echo, all MTD brands, etc.) will use this opportunity to innovate for more powerful battery equipment with longer battery life.
Finally! Thank you for this video! I depend on small gas engines for work. Everything from chain saws, generators, compactors, you name it. This is a disaster! Those in favor of this law are so out of touch. They believe battery powered "generators" instead of engine power during power outages.
California had a chance to get rid of their governor last month and didn't. First mistake and more to come. They cant figure out why businesses are leaving that state!🤔🤯
This stuff is getting crazy! However, this would be a great opportunity to get rid of all the equipment that's been sitting out behind the barn for the past 10 years.
You are absolutely right. Take the old rotten junk to trade in and keep your good stuff. Maybe we ought to make a business out of this. Take a semi out to CA with junk equipment. Offer people $50 to "trade" them equipment. That way they still have something to trade in, make a little extra on the deal, and we are saving, and bringing back truckloads of good equipment that we turn around and sell. Anyone in??
I'm a retired auto mechanic and I know for years and years California is very strict with emission control. I figured they would be the first to do this but like you said not this soon. You covered this very well and Thanks for sharing this with us KB!!!
Thanks for your input Gravelyman. You are right, they have always been very strict with emissions, and smog checks etc. But way too soon on lawn and garden equipment.
I have been a small engine mechanic for 39 years. My wife and I bought a Kobalt electric mower she wanted to try it. She likes it but I think it’s a tinker toy of powerless plastic. I will never be onboard with that crap because it will kill the little guys like you and myself.
Keep in mind that lithium is a rare element, once all of that is burned up by all these batteries, there will be no alternative. Lithium also leaks acid when it gets old, that can cause the stuff to be almost as dangerous as nuclear waste to the environment.
There will be more demand for small engine mechanics to keep old equipment running. And there may be some for electric equipment but companies will make it as hard as possible to get parts, and many people look at plastic electric equipment as throw out.
More demand for small engine mechanics, possibly, just like there is now. However, I believe it is a dying breed and will continue to get worse as the years go on. Especially with news like this and more and more battery powered equipment coming out, school aged kids are not wanting to learn the trade and get into it because there is no future for them.
I feel your pain. If you have any dead mowers and weed Wackers take them to be destroyed so you get the big discount and keep your good stuff. In the end it will happen everywhere. I'm glad I'm at retirement age.
Heres another gift for this world. Solar powered lawn mowers make sense. Autonomous/robotic lawn mowers can just stay outside soaking up the sun charging the batteries and start and stop mowing as the batteries are charged and used. I don't want to give everything away. I just don't have any money/resources.
One or two years ago several California Counties had rebates if you turned in your residential gas powered equipment and bought electric as pilot projects for this plan. There was overwhelming demand for the rebates and the rebate money was exhausted within a few days. Clearly residential folks were turning in old busted up gear worth $0 to get half off on new electric gear. Commercial folks with high end equipment (riding mowers, big gensets, etc.) are going to hang on to them because you can't run them on battery power for 8-24 hours a day. CARB has been after the little guy for years. They've banned barbecue starter fluid, residential paints with volatile solvents, ethanol for heating and cleaning purposes, methanol in windshield wiper fluid to prevent freezing, the list goes on. It's trivial emissions compared to aircraft, agricultural, industrial, transportation and hydrocarbon mining but those folks have big lobbying operations to protect themselves. Did you know that piston engine aircraft still use leaded gasoline and residential areas below the takeoff patterns are so polluted with lead that children test way above allowable limits? CARB is mute concerning it because, um, it's a "Federal Problem." They're a bunch of bureaucrats targeting the defenseless trivial offenders while letting the big polluters who have lobbies get a pass and then brag abut their accomplishments. Government at its worst.
I got a question and that is just this last year the smoke from the fires here in the west made it to the east cost. So what are we going to do to chop the trees and bushes and brush away in a hurry to stop the house that is in the path of the fire. I don't plan to get rid of my gas powered garden equiptment and I wont buy an electric anything. I don't think they have given the battery contamination much thought
I only just found out about this recently, and here is what my grandma had to say "I don't care it doesn't affect me" and I know it will eventually affect us
Time to start charging $75 for blade sharpening.. this is the world we live in . Smh. its getting outta control... thanks for letting me know about this . I was just like u thinking we had more time . I wish nothing but the best of luck to all affected by this . Great video thanks for sharing. Hope all is well take care & stay safe. Later brother
The reality is the fact that we just can't continue to burn focal fuels to maintain and to run the American economy. People just realize the change is going to be rough but having a habitable world is so much more important than continuing to run two- or four-cycle powered equipment.
I pondered this for a couple hours today. Unfortunately, I'm afraid a lot of people (at least landscapers, like they do now) will sharpen their own blades, or will just replace them.
30M$$ for rebates doesn't sound like a lot of money to me? If I do my math right, $0.75 (that's 75 cents) per person based on 2019 CA population numbers. Thanks for the overview Mr Kyle.
No, it is not much money at all considering the population and how much they are offering each person, cost of new equipment etc. Better be the first to jump on it or there won't be any left!
They will try, but unless there is major breakthroughs in the raw materials needed battery manufacturing, I doubt it can scale at this pace. I predict for the next 10 years this will be a mandate that California kicks down the road, year after year. 15-20 who knows.
As a 4th generation, At 70 years old I have watched this state go straight to well you know. With a super majority in state legislative, those who think are at a minority. I hope this one comes to bite him on the bisques! Here are two examples that will be a real problem. And as a utility employee for 40 years I know this info. #1 New housing building a new tract of homes the builders need portable generators, no power there yet. #2 In a storm almost all tools on emergency trucks are gas. I am sure none of you would got out in a major storm with an electric saw! (If they even make one that big) A side note I was at local hardware store yesterday, elect mowers jumped 100.00$
While california is on fire and a big redwood tree has fallen in the road, Cal Fire`s electrice chainsaw suddenly runs out of battery then the desperate Fireman runs to the bed of his tesla pickup to charge his battery with his honda power generator but it is not there.
They are not looking at the bigger picture! The pollution on the making of the batteries the other materials to make then! The other problems are the cost of the batteries for example the first cars the are highbred cars the batteries cost over 10k. The interesting thing is compared to places that don't follows the clean air roles like other bills passed I bet they don't think it out prop
what about small construction equipment like power trowels, power screeds, small generators, portable air compressors and welders, and small engines on farms, this is stupid
Ken, it may seem stupid. But this early in the game it would. But this is a step in the right direction to ensure the habitable condition of our planet is protected for us and upcoming generations. As time goes on manufactures will innovate technologies improving battery life and technologies that would make such equipment just as reliable as the gas powered equipment.
I do not believe it says anything about small Diesel engines. It is all about small “gas” engines. However the cars and trucks will be all electric by 2035, so I’m sure that was a slight oversight, or soon to be included.
You're relying on politicians to understand the difference between gas and fuel... think about how poorly they understand f1rearms, and try to decide how much it really matters what they *say* one way or the other. You're trying to find a loophole based on a technicality, but no one is paying attention to things at that level anymore. It will be by some politicians interpretation, which won't land in your favor. My guess is if it doesn't use electricity to operate, then it falls into this category.
This law is intended to kill any independent landscaper small business. The only companies who can afford the equipment to fulfill this service would be the large corporate landscaping businesses.
Thanks for the info KB good of you to bring this to every one's attention. Those out there who struggle with electrical repairs better break out that multimeter and brush up on your diagnostic skills
Exactly! Whether it's coming next year, or in 20 it'd be good to brush up on some electrical knowledge and be prepared to learn it at one point or another. Thanks for sharing my friend!
The bill does specify Newsom's winery is exempted from the bill, so there is that. Actually all legislator residences have been exempted as well. So long as they live there.
Hmmm What about the power grid? The additional load on the power plants, the ones that are powered by coal. The emissions from these plants will increase?? How about the destruction of an area from mining Lithium?? I'm just a dumb ol country boy and don't know much. California better start worrying about fresh water, that lake is awful low. Thanks for sharing, great video Kyle
Here’s a question for you all. Why do you not want to change to battery powered equipment? I understand they are expensive and have limited run time but I changed my lawn care setup here in Australia to battery and it’s been brilliant so far. I have 8 9ah 36v batteries that fit my stihl ap system and I do agree that they have less power but they go up against Australian plant growth no problem and they do they job 99% of the time. I do still have a gas/petrol stihl kombi system in my trailer for worst case scenario and a gas leaf blower for heavy jobs. I’m just curious why people are so against them? I do understand there is a cult following of being green but I have asthma and I’m only 28 and the fumes irritate my lungs and it is so much cheaper to run over time.
1. Batteries do not have the energy density of gasoline! 2. Batteries degrade in heat! 3. Batteries have to be charged - how many batteries & chargers do you have to buy to charge ALL batteries simultaneously over night?!!! 4. Power in Kalifornia still comes from fossil fuels!!! 5. There is no shortcut when it comes to the energy business - there are no benefits from these batteries as it hurts the environment!! 6. Complete waste of TIME!!!
A rebait really? I bet you that that "rebait" if your lucky is a tenth of what its worth. Then you have to buy a battery operated tool cause lets face how many ppl are going to let you plug into their outlets even if they are accessible. So there is that part of this. Not only is there the crazy high prices of said equipment there is also the batteries. You have to buy multiple batteries for each piece cause you not going to be able to charge on the fly. The batteries themselves are triple what the price is of the tool. Then you have to buy a gang load of charges to charge the batteries at night on your off time who knows how many times it's out to the wherever to switch packs instead of spending time with your loved ones and recuperating. If that isn't enough your electric bill is going to skyrocket charging all these batteries cause convicted felon PG&E sure as hell is not giving you free power or even a discount for that matter. Oh yeah one other thing don't forget that during summer months 5pm to 8pm power is double price and what if your caught in one of those rolling power cut offs. Thank you governor d!@#$%^&g (who buy the way got a 250,000 dollar kickback from PG&E) go figure.
this is not free market and i'm not against green power but gas power like gas generator is wasting and danger, i'm from uerto rico, gas generator save life for one years with power
destroying possibly perfectly good equipment for new stuff. good for the environment? good for the law makers pockets, that are probably being filled by battery companies.
I have to laff at this. Knowing how well some landscaper take care of their equipment and never RTFM. Some of the shade tree repairs I've seen, right, it's not rocket science, right... I figure if Harley Davidson can make the LiveWire...Then Scag, Toro/Exmark and the rest of the manufactures can make a battery powered commercial mowers..Milwaukee already makes chain saws, hedge trimmers, line trimmers, sprayers in their M18 line. Husqvarna has the robot mower like the Roomba, only for grass.....It ain't rocket science...yet.
The real funny thing is California gets most of their energy from Arizona and Utah and those two states get most of their energy from burning coal so I'm not really sure what the point of this law is...
Thanks for sharing the information on California but i think the OPE business will still be in great shape just like my son Jake's '67 Mustang. Equipment that is maintained will always be around and need service or repair. I also think that the production of all components including the batteries for this green equipment cause as much pollution, The OLD MAN over and out.
I am a Master Gardener and I Iove it! Now it shall be quiet at resorts without waking up to that crap NOISE AND STENCH as well as those pesky neighbors who have a gas machine Fetish at 7 am on the weekends!😠👏
Trees and plants grow because of carbon dioxide. Electric chainsaws will also be powered in part with fossil fuels for many decades, until wind and solar have blanketed the countryside and new nuclear plants have been built.
Anybody paying attention to the wild fires in the West this summer? The realty is climate change is real with real consequences. This is but one necessary step of many to combat climate change. Good for California and I hope other states will follow their lead.
Do you know where you get plastics from. Do you know where you get lithium from to produce the batteries for these devices you use everyday. From mining and drilling.

Thank God I don't live in that God forsaken "Workers Paradise"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyone who still lives there is proving themselves certifiably insane! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ban 2017 Camrys
become a dealer for the electric equipment take all the trade ins to the rest of the country make money
Send them to us boys in the south we will use them and pay your more
A rebait really? I bet you that that "rebait" if your lucky is a tenth of what its worth. Then you have to buy a battery operated tool cause lets face how many ppl are going to let you plug into their outlets even if they are accessible. So there is that part of this. Not only is there the crazy high prices of said equipment there is also the batteries. You have to buy multiple batteries for each piece cause you not going to be able to charge on the fly. The batteries themselves are triple what the price is of the tool. Then you have to buy a gang load of charges to charge the batteries at night on your off time who knows how many times it's out to the wherever to switch packs instead of spending time with your loved ones and recuperating. If that isn't enough your electric bill is going to skyrocket charging all these batteries cause convicted felon PG&E sure as hell is not giving you free power or even a discount for that matter. Oh yeah one other thing don't forget that during summer months 5pm to 8pm power is double price and what if your caught in one of those rolling power cut offs. Thank you governor d!@#$%^&g (who buy the way got a 250,000 dollar kickback from PG&E) go figure.
So all the landscaping companies will be gone in one year and the ones that will stay will charge triple for lawn care. LMFAO good job Cali 😂
Yes but my middle finger to them is replacing my front lawn with shiny white rocks
this is not free market and i'm not against green power but gas power like gas generator is wasting and danger, i'm from uerto rico, gas generator save life for one years with power
destroying possibly perfectly good equipment for new stuff. good for the environment? good for the law makers pockets, that are probably being filled by battery companies.
All the material from disassembled equipment would be melted down for recycling.
Güzel 💯💯💯💯🔥💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Disastrous. Short sited. Wastefulness. Over-reach.
Indeed. We will see where this takes us...
I think this law is terrible.
I have to laff at this. Knowing how well some landscaper take care of their equipment and never RTFM. Some of the shade tree repairs I've seen, right, it's not rocket science, right...
I figure if Harley Davidson can make the LiveWire...Then Scag, Toro/Exmark and the rest of the manufactures can make a battery powered commercial mowers..Milwaukee already makes chain saws, hedge trimmers, line trimmers, sprayers in their M18 line. Husqvarna has the robot mower like the Roomba, only for grass.....It ain't rocket science...yet.
FGN
Haha let’s see the fire fighters fight fires with there electric chain saws‼️🤦🏽
The real funny thing is California gets most of their energy from Arizona and Utah and those two states get most of their energy from burning coal so I'm not really sure what the point of this law is...
Thanks for sharing the information on California but i think the OPE business will still be in great shape just like my son Jake's '67 Mustang. Equipment that is maintained will always be around and need service or repair. I also think that the production of all components including the batteries for this green equipment cause as much pollution, The OLD MAN over and out.
You are very right about the production of this equipment. Moral of the story, maintain your equipment…? Thanks for sharing Old Man!
The more crap I bring them the bigger the refund ?
Ha I guess. If you don't bring anything, you don't get much at all.
GO Solar and TESLA!
Seen this today absolutely crazy!!!
Yes it is. We will see where it goes...
I am a Master Gardener and I Iove it!
Now it shall be quiet at resorts without waking up to that crap NOISE AND STENCH as well as those pesky neighbors who have a gas machine Fetish at 7 am on the weekends!😠👏
I wanna see what Democratic Leaders invested into electric small equipment items ……
Yup, follow the money trail... except no one will. Cuz the dems can do whatever they want right now and there's no one to stop them.
Let's keep politics aside, shall we? Reality..... We can't think we can continue this indefinite reliance on focal energy.
No love loss for those wretched leaf blowers!!!
30 million from the taxpayers, to fuck over tons of taxpayers.
So glad chainsaws can't destroy our Oxygen giving Trees anymore!
SAVE OUR REDWOODS!
Trees and plants grow because of carbon dioxide. Electric chainsaws will also be powered in part with fossil fuels for many decades, until wind and solar have blanketed the countryside and new nuclear plants have been built.
Ha ! Your forced to go electric
Anybody paying attention to the wild fires in the West this summer? The realty is climate change is real with real consequences. This is but one necessary step of many to combat climate change. Good for California and I hope other states will follow their lead.
Do you know where you get plastics from. Do you know where you get lithium from to produce the batteries for these devices you use everyday. From mining and drilling.
People start the fires this isn’t climate change
climate change dont cause the fires the fact that we no longer clear the under brush does all to save a few animals
Heres another gift for this world. Solar powered lawn mowers make sense. Autonomous/robotic lawn mowers can just stay outside soaking up the sun charging the batteries and start and stop mowing as the batteries are charged and used. I don't want to give everything away. I just don't have any money/resources.
