| Comment | I want to encourage CARB to pass the regulation requiring that leaf
blowers, lawn mowers, weed whackers and the like all be electric
powered engines. Gasoline-powered engines emit vile pollution from
fumes. They also are another source of gases that contribute to
climate change. Finally they are tremendously noisy, causing
another type of pollution that impacts our neighborhoods. The
pollution from them causes more respiratory conditions, the
chemicals in the exhaust could be carcinogenic and they only
continue our dependence on fossil fuels.
Now is the time to pass the regulation that all of these engines
need to be electric. They are quieter, do not spew exhaust and
allow us to decrease our use of fossils fuels.
