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. |
