See, you're SUPPOSED to suffer when the wind dies, to pay for your past sins

(I posted on this a week ago, but it’s now the law.)

GOODER AND HARDER: It’s Official: Generator Ban Passes in California. “The California Air Resources Board (CARB) passed a regulation aimed at “Small Off-Road Engines” on Thursday that will ban the sale of portable generators in the state — which includes generators mounted in recreational vehicles. The ruling bans the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawnmowers in the state beginning in 2024. Portable generators will be required to meet more stringent standards in 2024 and meet zero-emission standards starting in 2028. In the 2024 model year, portable generators will have to improve their efficiency by somewhere between 40% and 90%, which seems unrealistic in such a short period of time, so the reality is, it will be very hard to find a generator in Calfornia in two years.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): I’m opening a generator superstore just across the line in Nevada. Who’s in?
