USA Today: Advocates say using a commercial gas leaf blower for an hour produces emissions equal to driving from Denver to Los Angeles. – “Critics say battery-powered machines aren't as strong as gas-powered ones, and some people also worry about having to buy new equipment, which is generally more expensive.” But it gets worse: “[American Green Zone Alliance Daniel] Mabe says someone starting a small landscaping business could buy the necessary gas-powered equipment for about $6,000, but the electric equivalents could cost three times that.”

“Here we go again,” Climate Depot Founder Marc Morano said in comments to MRC Business. “Every day Americans wake up to find that some new unelected bureaucracy or bureaucrat has determined that in order to save the planet, a major modern tool or convenience is going to be banned.” Morano blasted USA Today for pushing woke, eco agitprop: “Forcing Americans to pay three times higher for electric equipment in order to save the planet and meet climate goals — is unacceptable.”
Morano: “Will Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore, John Kerry, and UN officials give up private jet flying,” Morano questioned. “Or is it just ordinary Americans who have to give up gas leaf blowers, gas stoves, and gas lawn mowers?”
