CARB-

As a landscape industry, we are in favor of moving more toward a
sustainable, more environment friendly use of power equipment.  As
contractors, we clearly understand the important role we play and
how our efforts to reduce gas emissions is critical to a long term
solution in the fight against global warming.  Where we differ is
the 2024 timeline to make this abrupt and radical transition.  The
cost of gas vs. electric is extremely prohibitive for small
contractors who make up the majority of businesses in this state. 
There also needs to be greater improvement in the technical
development of electric equipment where it is of equal performance
or better than current gas powered units.  Its important to listen
to all voices and bring all parties together to formulate a viable
plan which is a win win for the State, Contractors and
Manufacturers.  Thank you.
