If Generators Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Generators

It's happened here in the Democratic People's Republic of Kalifornia:

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...

The new regulation does not apply to diesel or propane generators, but it will apply to gasoline generators mounted in an RV.  

Remember, this is a state in which a major electricity utility routinely shuts off power whenever the wind blows too much or whenever it's too hot.

Do you think that the electric vehicle people will be stuck in traffic when they run out of power or at home with no electronics and no cars.
