FAA to investigate Santa Clara County leaded fuel ban at airports
The Federal Aviation Administration has started a formal investigation into Santa Clara County’s policy to ban the sale of leaded fuel at its airports starting Jan. 1. The FAA said it will investigate to determine whether the policy is a violation of the United States Constitution and other FAA guidelines. It also advised the county to halt the ban on leaded fuel implemented by county supervisors because of concerns of lead toxicity around Reid-Hillview Airport.

Can't fix stupid!
Beginning of the end for GA. If California starts closing airports and restricting leaded fuel, it will start a trend to take away another liberty. Make it so expensive normal joes will never afford it. Only the elite in their G5s will fly.
Apparently there is still a market for Leaded Fuel. This is the kind of products that should always be driven by market forces not simpletons in Sacramento or the County seat. As older engines on older Vintage Aircraft are re-engine with engines that don't need the Leaded Full the product will disappear on it's own.
OMG, the free market!
Are you insane, man!
Totalitarian busy bodies are the way to go!

Apparently, Sarcasm is not everyone's strong suit.
I don't think that batteries are actually the issue here.
