Subject | Ban on Gas Powered Equip by 2024 |
Comment | 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.
