New Administration Rule would outlaw 90% of portable gas generators

Got to wonder if this is really a war on rural and suburban residents who use generators on a regular basis during power failures, in addition to contractors who rely on generators to run power for construction sites.
Seriously WTF are they thinking?

Biden Administration Rule Would Ban Nearly All Portable Gas-Powered Generators

www.theepochtimes.com

After seeking to reduce the use of gas stoves, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators—which some experts have said would be disastrous for the millions of Americans who rely on such generators during power outages.​

​

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a policy (pdf) that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market...​

​

Once the proposed rules come into effect, manufacturers would have to comply with them in just six months, a process that usually takes several years. The rules would also ban manufacturers from stockpiling noncompliant generators before the new standards are enacted.​

​

Generator Manufacturers Speak Out​

In a June 28 press release, Susan Orenga, executive director of the Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Association, pointed out that CPSC’s proposal will “create a shortage of essential portable generators during regional and national emergencies because it will prevent the sale of portable generators that are currently available on the market.”​

​

“Furthermore, the timing of the CPSC’s proposed changes are particularly concerning, given repeated warnings that two-thirds of North America is currently facing an energy shortfall this summer during periods of high demand,” she said.​

​

Nearly 5 million households across the United States use gas powered generators during power outages...​

​

In May, the North American Electric Reliability Corp. warned that two-thirds of North America could face blackouts and brownouts between June and September if there are “wide area” heat waves, wildfires, and droughts,. . .​

Read your first sentence. You assume that they have the ability to think????

To those that voted for Obiden or didn't vote because Trump was abrasive. How you like it now? And FU

Portable gas generators, gas stoves, air conditioners, gas powered cars, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, cows. Guess we all will just have to stay in out private owned jets.

Bidet and his gang are a bunch of dumb fucks.

Dont forget the goberment is pushing the 15 minuet city you'r never far from power to plug in your electric cement truck

It's a 45 minute drive to any town for me now, so good luck to the politicians that want 15 minute cities.
I'm 15 minutes from the nearest paved road.

Maybe they will put one of those charging stations where your road meets the paved road. At least you could make it back home.

On a cold and snowy winter day, electric range drops to 1/3 I've heard.
So on a full charge in a lightning, I could probably just make it to town and back home.

I have an old 6kW gasser I bought after ANDREW when we lived in Loozyana and being without power for 5 days, a new 13kW Tri-fuel back up to this widdle standby generator ……. Oh yeah, I get free NG

Biden ain’t fkn me!

 

[EastTexFrank]

I used to have 2 gas powered generators. The 3800 Watt one I bought 25 years ago after we lost power for 5 days. It was mainly used to keep all the fridges and freezers running during outages. The 3-kW Yamaha inverter generator I bought to use with the 5th wheel when we had it. I also used them when I was working about the place and needed power at some remote location.

After years of procrastination, I installed a 24kW whole house, natural gas back-up generator almost 2-years ago. I got too old and tired of hauling out those generators and running extension cords every time we lost power. Also, keeping and rotating fresh gas for them became a pain.

The older gas-powered generator I took to my SIL when she lost power at the farm and, as these things go, it's still there.

By the way, I have to pay for my NG.

Biden doesn't mess with me much either.

Last month my electric bill was $63.73. My electricity has been out a little over 4 hours and that was during the night.
I think I will stick with what I have.
