Better get your generators before Biden outlaws them

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.

Sounds like it is possible to do.
Fwiw, the manufacturers have a work around if they want to do it, but they don't.

Electric cars, banning generators and so forth…. Doing this to control people and not for the supposed environmental concerns. If another Covid happened they want to be able to shut things down so we can’t travel and would be reliant on the government.

This isn't for environmental concerns
CPSC is trying to lower the CO deaths from portable generators. They proposed a rule and took feedback from manufacturers that having a CO kill switch would be a better option. CPSC agreed to allow the switch (not reducing CO emmisions).
Manufacturers decided they weren't going to do the switches after they campaigned for them.
CPSC is basically saying, well, I guess that is what yall want.

Incredible. What’s Insane to me is that people will still vote to re elect this potato.

Holy clickbait title.
The rule is to reduce carbon monoxide (the deadly stuff) emissions and add sensors and shut-offs. It'll save a few dozen lives and a few thousand poisonings each year, as well as the associated health care costs (estimated at $1 billion/year). Maybe our premiums will go down.
It's estimated to add ~$50 to the cost of a unit. A far cry from "outlawing" them. Be better.

You are being told to lower your AC usage on hot days to prevent overwhelming the existing electric grid while simultaneously being told to trade in your gas cars for electric vehicles.

This. We knew he'd be a frick up and tried to tell people. He's just being who he's always been.
It's the voters that need to take ownership of the shite sandwich we're in as a country.

Well that makes a lot of sense. We'll just use electric generators to produce electricity when the next hurricane knocks out city power for weeks.

His years in office, showed how much of a failure he was. Who in their right mind thought, this guy knew what he was doing?

Ah, don’t be a dumbass and run your generator in the house or blow exhaust into it.
Caint fix stupid. Everyone else has to suffer.

There are generators already available with CO monitoring, this isn't going to save the lives of imbeciles that still chose to misuse them. Nor is it only going to cost $50/unit, those estimates are never correct nor do they account for the malfunctions they can cause (some to the point the monitor is disabled by the owner so that the generator will actually function). Once again the low-IQ's need more government regs to save them from their stupidity. Typical...

That's called darwinism.
if you're too stupid to know that you can't run a generator inside, then you're stupid to own a generator.

Of course, it's the HK/Chinese Company that can instantly benefit from such a proposition.

According to the article the OP posted there is only one instance where deaths have resulted from such a generator.
Louisiana during Ida. And the positioning is what caused the situation.
So, there is some credence to the theory.

Any EFI generator should, in theory, be able to comply. According to the industry 75% of models aleady do.
