I wonder where this non-carbon electricity is going to come from to power these replacement units?


Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

It’s only zero emission at the motor and in the city, there is probably more CO2 being expelled into the atmosphere by the power plant because electricity is an extremely inefficient form of energy. There is no such thing as zero emission, but good luck convincing these folks of that. Regardless of the form of power, it’s never zero emission, at least not if you consider production and transportation.

I’m not saying I agree with the policy mentioned in the OP, but I can’t let the statement that electricity is extremely inefficient stand without calling it out. That is not accurate.

I heart electricity.

I'm curious about commercial lawn services. Are they going to have to go electric too? They'd have to have 50 batteries to mow a day's worth of lawns.

Can they scale it to run a weed eater or outboard motor?

From what I saw yes that is the case. Talk about a beautiful state being ruined by morons. What I am still not clear on is can they keep using existing equipment or not. When I read the article is sounded like this was mainly targeted at new equipment sales. If that is the case they could just buy equipment out of state or parts to keep existing equipment going. Anyone know the correct answer on this part?
