The state's landscapers aren't opposed to transitioning to electric equipment, but they want more incentives and a careful rollout before restrictions hit.
Last month, Colorado became the first state in the country to ban certain gas-powered lawn care equipment during the hot summer months, when ozone levels are more likely to reach dangerous heights.because it doesn’t meet national standards for the gas. Ozone is a secondary pollutant that forms when other pollutants — primarily volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide — mix with heat and sunlight.
“We're happy that they listened to us,” says McMahon, whose trade organization represents about 400 companies across the state. “They made some great modifications to what it was originally, so we are supportive that they made those modifications. Are there still some problems? Absolutely.” “What that requires is a significant power grid to be able to charge those batteries overnight, and some of those infrastructure costs have been upwards of $100,000, in some cases," McMahon points out.
The ALCC advocated for those incentive provisions in the bill after it was initially proposed that landscape companies must make the switch. “Our parks department was already buying electrical equipment,” Obermann points out. “This rule makes it required. We embrace that rule. It's the right direction we need to move in.”City and County of Denver/@denvergolf5280/Instagram
