Not Just Gas Stoves: Biden Admin Rule Would Outlaw Nearly All Portable Gas Generators​

Just months after a Biden-appointed regulator teased a ban on gas stoves, the administration is working to enact a rule that would prohibit the manufacturing of nearly all portable gas generators on the U.S. market.

A proposed Consumer Product Safety Commission rule limits the amount of carbon monoxide a product can emit, with the commission admitting that 95 percent of portable gas generators on the market cannot comply with its new standard. As a result, industry leaders say, the rule will prompt widespread generator shortages, as manufacturers only have six months to design generators that meet the proposed regulation. That process normally takes years, Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association executive director Susan Orenga told the Washington Free Beacon.

Portable gas generators can help those who experience a power outage keep the lights on, and nearly five million households use them. Should the Biden administration finalize its rule, however, the generators could become difficult to obtain. The commission's rule prohibits manufacturers from stockpiling non-compliant generators prior to the rule's enactment.

Setting it up where they can bring this nation to its knees just by killing the power supply. Food would spoil and the population would be dependent on the folks that shut down the power. . Know I have to think about adding another generator folks .

Are they going to remove the Whitehouse's generator? God knows they don't need anyone suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning there. Maybe they can just cover the Whitehouse lawn with solar panels and windmills.

Nearly every construction site has used a portable generator at the start of a project

 

[Deplorable Me]

Are they going to ban BLM from using petroleum based molotovs?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Fuck them all. So tired of this.

Gun sales have topped 1 million per month for 47 months. Are they deliberately trying to start a revolution? Because millions of gun owners unable to heat their homes or feed their families will, at some point, just say fuck it and start shooting up every federal government building they can find.

After a little digging into this mess there are numerous loopholes. The scope of this is portable generators with a NEMA plug like you would find at home depot. RV generators do not apply nor do trailer mounted gen sets or welders. This would certainly limit consumer grade gen sets but leaves many viable options open.
Go ahead and pass it, thats fine with me. I can generate power from any refined fossil fuel, wood, pyrolysis, and if I had a better supply of stock methane.

Don't forget dishwashers are on FJB's hit list as well.

They (.gov) will keep pushing this shit as far as we let them.

My new mower used about 6 gallons of gas to mow the lawn the first time. I'm going to mount an AK on the ROPS in case anyone wants to come tell me that's a problem.

So if I want to run my small 4000 watt inverter generator to power my fridge/freezers/lights that goes through about 3 gallons in 24 hours that's a no go. But I'm free to run a monster 12kw trailer generator that uses way more fuel.. you know.. to save the environment.

Wll that's retarded.

have you ever seen them lights on i90 powered by fuel generators in constructions zones .. .


LMAO .. 1500 bucks to go to Rochester 3 times times to fuel them up .. for only 100 bucks in fuel ..

The EPA has been fighting SEMA for years and the EPA wants NASCAR vehicles to be unmodified streeet cars........... with all emmissions controls operational..and all muscle cars be scrapped in a year.

Meanwhile, Canada is on fire and somewhere else there is a volcano getting ready to blow.

But those dang portable gas-powe, you know, the thing.

There are some… no many folks in government who just need to eat shit and die

Good luck with that. They are based on the shape of a production car, not an actual production car. They have no control over that. Its my understanding that going after the local hobby stock, derby cars or truck pulling they technically can regulate because it was once a production vehicle.

Of course they left loopholes for some. They need to be able to charge EVs on the side of the road after they die. They just don't give a shit if your house is out of power for 12 hrs and your pipes freeze because it's -5 degrees out.

One day, AMERICANS are going to have to fight this communistic government. Its not a question of if, but when.

ALL of our freedoms have a very heavy price tag. The question remains, when & what, are you willing to pay.

Good ole fashioned can of whoop-ass is coming. I`m old, and hoping i live long enough to see it happen.

Biden anti-consumer crusade targets 4 more types of appliances

Team Biden wasn't satisfied attacking consumers by going after their stoves. The administration's war on appliances continues to widen and includes at least four more types.

The ATF is taking a beating over that West Virginia Vs EPA ruling ..

you can't just make new rules up and say there the new LAW ..

surprised the EPA is not getting a beating yet from them

So, all the gen sets will now just come with one large industrial plug, and you'll have to order the adapter pigtail off Amazon ?

Seems slightly annoying, but otherwise not a major issue.

A Nema plug is an "industrial plug". This is going after generators one (or with a assistant) can carry. If you cannot carry it its not included.

Some industrial plugs are NEMA and some aren't.

They just need to pick one of the non NEMA 120/240 split phase plugs and everyone use that.

If it's just a matter of portability, just or add a 250lb concrete base you can easily unbolt it from LOL.

They won`t even be able to find my generator, so fuk`em
