…in California. People will be able to drive to Arizona, Nevada, or Oregon and buy generators.

  1. Does that make it ok? "Oh just drive x hours west and you can buy one there." So you can still buy a generator, unless you're poor or do shift work. 2. How does forcing someone to drive their car several hours one way to buy something legal in 49 states and the majority of the world help curb emissions?

    Where are you planing to drive west to from California?

      Reno Nevada is west of Los Angeles California…

        Even Fresno is "east" of Reno. Los Angeles is closer than Chicago than San Francisco is.

  That's a real rich-person mentality. Most people don't have the money or the time to drive for a couple days to get a generator if they need one.

  If you want to get a whole-home, automatically kicked in generator, you need to get it installed professionally. I expect it's going to be hard to go buy one from another state, transport it home (they're not small), and then find a company willing to install it (and risk something going wrong and being held accountable).
