Wood fires are deemed natural as new growth sequesters CO2. Just on a different time frame. That's why the eco-loons originally said woodchips for Drax power station were good. Never mind that wood has less energy density than coal and you needed more of them.

They remain unaccounted for because of the Kyoto Protocol. Same as in Australia.

    AB-1346 Air pollution: small off-road engines.(2021-2022)

    An act to add Section 43018.11 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to air pollution.

    LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

    AB 1346, Berman. Air pollution: small off-road engines.Existing law imposes various limitations on the emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law assigns the responsibility for controlling vehicular sources of air pollution to the State Air Resources Board. This bill would require the state board, by July 1, 2022, consistent with federal law, to adopt cost-effective and technologically feasible regulations to prohibit engine exhaust and evaporative emissions from new small off-road engines, as defined by the state board. The bill would require the state board to identify and, to the extent feasible, make available funding for commercial rebates or similar incentive funding as part of any updates to existing applicable funding program guidelines to local air pollution control districts and air quality management districts to implement to support the transition to zero-emission small off-road equipment operations.
