Fucking morons running our country.

The only thing that this will achieve is massively increasing the costs of state/public space maintenance. The state as well as companies will have to buy all new electric equipment and a crap load of batteries, it will also take 3-4x as long to do the same work. It will also still be loud, just a different pitch.
What is even more funny is the horsepower limits.. That will mean that if they don't buy electric gear, they will just buy higher horsepower gear that will be louder and possibly pollute even more.

From the post: "State agencies in Colorado will be banned from using certain gas-powered lawn equipment during the summer, according to a new rule adopted by the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission.
The rule applies from June to August. During this time, state agencies will not be allowed to use gas-powered lawn equipment with engines of 25 horsepower or less.
The new regulation also prohibits the use of gas-powered push lawnmowers and other lawn equipment under 10 horsepower on other public property within the Denver Metro and North Front Range ozone nonattainment area."

A non authoritative group issuing an unlawful rule. When will people learn?

So, the lawn mowing contractors will end up towing a diesel generator around with them to recharge the batteries then?

Yeah, that or something similar. Including charging a massive premium for having to buy all new gear and employing people for 3-5x as much time to do the same work since every time a battery runs out you have to go back to the truck (that may or may not have been stolen or looted) to put a new battery in.
