Ive never seen a lawnmower that burns that much gas in an hour.

Perhaps they are counting the other emissions?

Perhaps they are referring to particulate matter, unburned gases etc. Those small engines are far less efficient than a motorcar.

Of course, there is also spillage, which is a huge cumulative problem but I don't think they are referring to.

Considering the open defecation problems in many west coast cities right now, apparently many people think life was better before indoor plumbing too. Ahh, the good old days.

The people on the left are our biggest control freaks? Surely you jest.

Yes. Not wanting noise and air pollution is the same as advocating for public defecation.

With sound logic like that (and the random insults), it's a wonder you haven't convinced everyone of your argument.

Those choices never went away.
Noted that some of you aren't fans of having "choices"

I'll say this much...nobody had to make a law banning push mowers to get people to use gas mowers. If electric mowers are worth using people will use them without some hippie putting a gun to their head.
