CAs shifting regs THE REPUBLICAN CLIMATE PITCH: Assembly Republicans are taking aim at some of California’s environmental mainstays, from the California Environmental Quality Act to the Coastal Commission — and they’re calling it climate action. They unveiled a package of legislation today waiving environmental rules to fast-track the clearing of flammable vegetation around vulnerable communities and facilitate controlled burns. Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher said climate change is exacerbating California’s wildfires by making forests drier but that California’s policies to reduce emissions aren’t enough to fix the problem.

this might be a win for biochar and pyrolysis in California? only if it requires that vegetation is not just burned in a big bonfire.

I live in the fire-prone middle of California. I have a pyrolysis kiln and produce biochar as an alternative to green waste. It's a ton of work. What makes sense for lawn/garden care and organic farming usually isn't practical for bare acreage. Especially savannah and chaparral (which is most of CA). The tool to use in fire season is a flail mower (where fire can't be used) or controlled burns.
