Did this just happen no generators?

Can we use human waste for energy?

Northumbrian Water is one company that is now a recognized expert in the use of what it calls "poo power" - using human waste to generate gas and electricity. The water firm was the first in the UK to use all its sludge - the goo generated after raw sewage has been treated - to produce renewable power.

I doubt THAT would smell like French Fries!

So the septic tanks on motorhomes could be generators ! That's probably better than waiting for battery powered generator technology to catch up.

No it will not smell like french fries or calamari, but we'll never run out of this renewable energy source!
That also applies to some the bull**** posted on this thread including my own!

If this is true then California alone and all their BS will have enough to power the whole country.

California law to eventually ban gas-powered lawn equipment there's nothing listed about generators.

The New law does include Generators (All off-road gas powered engines “Including Generators” it pretty well cover any thing that has a small engine!

Best I can verify is that it's an assumption that generators will be included in the small engine ban.

It makes absolutely no sense banning generators from safety standpoint like when public power goes out or you need power in a remote location. No sense at all!

The law make no sense, what about fire fighters , emergency workers, it is will tie the hands of the people that are there to help. Tom
