Brilliant. Create policies where you can't supply enough electricity to your state's residents and then forbid them to purchase generators to help them deal with the inevitable blackouts.
Your statement was "You don’t need to spend $80k." I disagree. I do need to spend $80K
3 power walls - 12.6 kW system + PG&E requirements = $80kThat seems unusually expensive.
I have been quoted around $10k for PV and see about $15k for battery.
More than nwdiver stated, but much less then here in red state Texas.
Is this due to your area?
Back to topic:
Most of the proposed bill can be done, TODAY, with little impact to businesses.
IMHO, this is a very weak law.
Oh, you mean the small independently owned and operated middle class businesses that hire thousand's of lower wage unskilled workers? California laws would NEVER hurt small business, the little people or the underserved...would they?3 power walls - 12.6 kW system + PG&E requirements = $80k
A side note - it took 2 years to get it completed.
This law will hit landscapers the hardest.
Why?This law will hit landscapers the hardest.
And potential new politicians that can eliminate itThe pollution from these small engines is enormous, so something needed to be done. The point that I think many people are missing is that this is an aspirational goal/law that will go into effect many years into the future. It will give everyone from manufacturers and suppliers to users of this type of equipment some time to design, produce and purchase new products that will help achieve the goal and comply with the law...It isn't like everything has to be thrown away or retired on January 1, there are many years to prepare...It will all be worked out...

I have a gas powered lawn mower. I drive Ice cars. I have a propane 22kw generator. Gas chain saw. gas weeder. IMO, this green focus is just over the top! Luckily I will be dead when folks may have to pay the price. Here I am in Calif, and we cannot even keep the lights on, and we want to force adding TONS more electrical needs. And who is going to pay, since we already pay the highest fuel costs in the nation.@h2ofun Why downvote my post?
I have battery weeder, 110v weeder, 110v bush trimmer, 110v chain saw, and rather old but functional battery mower (out matched by todays selection).
They do the job just fine.
And my garage is less messy and not smell of oil.
So when the underserved are left without jobs it's racism but when they get hired it's Exploitation? You obviously make no apologies for your hypocrisy.Fixed that for you
They can afford the couple hundred dollars needed to to stop the pollution they are causing and not paying for.
If folks are SO happy with socialism, there are countries who would love to have you.
stupidThat's funny. What do you call the subsidy collecting hobby that fuels your PV and PW purchases ?
Why?
Electricity is cheaper than gas.
And they could plug into the house they are doing work on.
Possibility can be cheaper.
I sure hope someone smarter than me has reviewed the data and is making a decision based on facts - not politics.Fixed that for you

The 'smart' people making these laws are only in politics because they can't do anything else. The problem is they are grifters that can get enough lemmings to buy into their narrative. They convince people they care about everyone when in reality they only care about themselves and keeping their power to continue their political grift.I dont have the data that hopefully the smart people have making these laws. I am sure they know better than my simple observation but from what I see the homeowners buying the electric power tools and switching from gas powered. The hardworking gardeners are the ones hit the hardest.
yep and proud of it
