Did anyone else see that California recently won the ability (legally from
the EPA I believe) to regulate emissions from small engine based machines
like lawn mowers? I suppose the goal is some mandates similar to those they
attempted to put in place for cars. Perhaps the sales opportunity for
electric tractors will come again.
I am not naive enough to believe that government mandates are always a good
solution, so let's not go down that whole path. I just like what I have seen
some states beginning to do lately. I would like to believe that an enterprising
company could develop a solution to this sort of demand for a simple, clean
energy mower.
