and electric leaf blowers.

Betcha the power for them comes from a coal plant.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Christopher Bergonzi had at first proposed a complete ban on leaf blowers, saying their emissions were a public health risk

Take your whole Lib town back to the Stone Age, Chris.

He compared leaf blower emissions to second-hand smoke.

This apparatchik is a technical moron...

The hot new 2 stroke, yes I said 2 Stroke is the Huskavarna and Stihl products with their clever and patented "X Torq" Technology. They have a grooved piston and dual throat carb that sends an airstream into the combusion chamber as the exhaust is exiting and before fuel sneaks out, very very clever....

It makes it almost as good as a Direct Injected 2 stroke, and almost as clean as 4 strokes with much better fuel economy...

Check out the videos of it on you tube, but an image for now...

If Bergonzi wants to ban leaf blowers, he should move to Conchwhored where they banned them as well as single serving water bottles and want to put cats on leashes. A second choice will be Whorevyard where they are considering doing the same sorts of things while picking the federal taxpayers’ wallets to preserve their view of the Nashua River valley.

Its not the emissions, its the noise of these damn things that annoys the hell out of me.

The Daily Item reports that resident Edward Friedman questioned Bergonzi's scientific research and said leaf blowers are hardly used between May 15 and Sept. 15 anyway, making the article irrelevant.

Incrementalism. First they ban them for the summer then just figure, "what the hell", and ban them year round next year.
