Generator ban in California?

[Ducstrom]

I just read about the zero emissions legislation for small engines in California. I guess everyone there will have to buy their generators from out of state now.
It might just drive up sales of dc-dc chargers so people can idle their vehicle engines to charge batteries rather than a small generator.
Interesting world we live in...

A pox on the houses of all who bring generators into the wilderness.

California Small Engine Ban Will Include RV Generators Too

A new law in California bans small off-road engines. It affects RV built-in generators, too, and the industry wants an exemption.

Just did a Google search, see if this site works.

Yeah the RV idiots are flipping out. Its a dirty generator “sales” ban. Not a “you can’t use a generator law” lol?‍♂️?‍♂️.
Remember when two stroke outboard motors were banned? Yeah kinda the same thing. No big deal. EFI generators soon?.

Appears ’Cal will ban the sale of new small engines. But not ban the use of them.
Sounds like a business opportunity for sales in border areas and boost for the blackmarket.

Just wait till it bans usage in state parks and BLM areas. Eroding liberty one step at a time.

I think it was on the ewetube channel “RV Miles” that they said the “intent” of the law was to “encourage” landscape contractors to make the move to electric equipment.

Rv idiots, that's a term I've never heard. Is that reserved
Just for Californians?

i look at it as improving the outdoor experience for everyone else. While there are some generators that do not make a lot of noise, most are an annoyance and too many people think it is acceptable to start them at 6am Or even run them all night.

Everybody has a different idea of liberty. Personally I'd prefer the earth to be a bit cooler, and if cleaning up gas powered emissions helps that - power forward & protect MY liberty.

In widerness, Its already illegal. What more do you want ?

I want pox on the houses of all who bring generators into the wilderness.

Sorry, I thought that I was clear on that.

I hate it when someone near me is running a generator when camping. I'm fine with getting rid of them in any/all RVs and camping situations.

I would extend past official wilderness areas and say the outdoors where people are camping and trying to enjoy nature.

Add amplified music (usually Bluetooth speakers these days) to that too. I do not want to hear music I like when I camp, so I sure as heck do not want to hear your music that I probably do not like.

It was just a slip of the wrong word "wilderness" as that includes any motorized vehicle can not be used (taken into) in wilderness areas. I do not know anyone who would carry a generator into a wilderness area (at least very far).

I was camping this past weekend on private land in the Florida wilderness. 'Twas a hearty group of adventurers. One guy.... just one.... brought a generator. Was it illegal? No. Was it deserving of a pox upon his house? Yes. The reason for the generator? So he can run a floor fan in his tent to help him sleep better.
