    No worries California is going to save the planet by banning gas powered lawn equipment. If there’s one thing the environment loves, is more batteries and crap that doesn’t last so you have to keep buying new shit.

      I just want more public transportation and no investment in future oil and gas projects.

      I know we can’t swear off it but expanding is not the answer. It needs to go the way of coal, we need to force ourselves to find an alternative.

      I always had electric lawn equipment that plugs into an outlet. Batteries just seem like an extra needless complication.

        Yeah I tried going electric. I’m not mowing the lawn with a cord plus I cut a cord using electric hedgers once. Went back to gas and never looked back.

            It was 2008, they were garbage at the time, and my awesome gas powered lawnmower is still going strong today that I got when I replaced the electric one 2008. But yeah thanks for the compliments.
