They can ban the sale of them but for the time being not the use
So I could see good money in importing used petrol powered tools because it would be impossible to prove whaer they were originally bought from, provided they were a Cal compliant model in the first place.
Obviously all that pot smoking & sunshine has finally caused brains to evolve into muck

So are the electric company non polluters themselves? And how are they going handle the bad batteries, just stick them in landfills? Or they are doing like they are here where they converting a 1100+ acres of prime farm land to solar farms using weed killers polluting our ground water. But what the hey we don't need food, water, and clothing any more.

They have a problem even keeping the power flowing in California. I would suggest sheep or goats but, they will ban them based on farting.

They can strap masks on both ends like they are trying to do to cows but what to do with the gas afterwards. It going to take a lot perfume to make it smell nice but in the cities who can tell what stinks the worst.

You get the government you vote for. Obvioussly the voters in california want this. I have no sympathy for California. If their taxes to go to 100% so be it. Everyone is entitled to their politics and to vote for who they want. If your candidate does stupid stuff don't complain to me.

That sorta like those trying to blame our presidents for all the problems when he has 538 bosses in Congress that can't agree on a single thing most days. Heck they cant even get a budget done until the last minute and even then they are bickering over the details and block passage of the bills. Its something that must done every year. Most of them are just really old farts that simply don't care about us anymore except when comes to getting elected. Actually it looks like our country is coming to a stand still because of all the bickering.

You have heard of the term "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Well the Washington and State politicians are completely cover in moss lately. They are more worry whose a** to kiss then getting something beneficial done.

Those Congressmen aren’t worried about any of their constituents. They are more interested in passing bills to benefit special interest groups and skimming a little off in the process.
