You can rack part of this crap up to policies like the one we will eventually have to deal with.
This would be funny, if it weren't true.
Because our company has more than 2 forklifts that are gas powered (propane) we HAVE to buy special exaust systems to get our C02 lowered (more Glowballs warming bullshit). Each system is approx $3000 to $4000 installed. We need to do roughly 4-5 machines. But there's a catch. The forklift cannot be older than 1990, or it MUST be scrapped because the State does not "recognize" the engine in the forklift and if they "catch" us using it we get a retro-active fine.
This garbage does not confine it's self to forklifts only. They use the term "Large igniton spark" engines so as to target stand alone power packs (engines to run Ag pumps, ect...) If the engine is not "approved" you MUST replace it.
Thousands of business's are being affected by this, and choose to leave the state rather than deal with this draconian crap.
Oh, the sweet deal in all this, the company that provides the only system (State approved, of course!) is located in.......................NEVADA.
