The industry from Manufactures to End Users are not
ready for this drastic deadline. In the Bay Area most of the
employees who work for a Commercial Landscape Company 5 days a
week, work for themselves on the weekend. We are not going to
be able to pass on the cost of battery equipment estimated at a
realistic 300% increase to our customers. The subsidies are
not going to be there forever. In the end a maintenance
worker will lose their weekend job to homeowners who will decide to
maintain their property on their own. Which happens in every
economic downturn, which is looming around the corner.
I’d like to know how the electric grid is going to be
able to store enough energy to power all the batteries from this
equipment to cars, when last I knew California
pays Arizona to take the solar energy it cannot
store on the current grid. Not to mention what will happen with the
abundance of dead batteries from all this equipment. The
state should maintain some sort of balance of gas, electric and
battery equipment. Not excluding gas altogether.
