Lawn mower cutting green grass
The Los Angeles Times reports:
Gas-powered yard tools may be harder to come by starting this year. Assembly Bill 1346 requires phasing out fossil fuel-fueled leaf blowers, lawnmowers, weed trimmers, chain saws and other tools. The tools were targeted for their contributions to the state’s notoriously emissions-filled air.
Phasing out such equipment — by requiring that those of model years 2024 and later be powered with electricity or another clean energy — is part of the state’s plan to transition to a carbon-free economy …. People are still allowed to use the gas-powered tools they already have and buy them used.
While electricity isn’t necessarily clean, the electrification of everything is a valid strategy to decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors.
Leave it to California to pave the way to a viable future. I don’t think you’ll find this, or any other progressive measure being taken in Texas.
I doubt there is a definitive answer to the question that a reader poses at left, but here’s how I’ve been dealing with this issue since I was a boy:
A couple: 2
A few: 3 – 4
Several: 5 – 12
Many: more that 12.
Apparently, the author of the meme here doesn’t know that 2023 marked the sixth straight year that the United States led the world in oil production.
The modern-day Republican party is doing everything in its power to remove regulations that are aimed at protecting the environment, and right now, they’re having a field day, due to our nation’s rejection of science.
But what happens when the MAGA crowd finds itself standing on their rooves, as shown at left? This could get interesting.
