Ever consider the source pollution from the electric power plant, as well as all of the efficiency losses in electricity generation, transmission, off-peak generation, and conversion?
Yes. The electric power plant is MUCH cleaner burning than any gas mower could ever hope to be, electric losses are much lower than thermal losses in the gas cycle, I don't have volatile liquids in my garage, I don't have to tune the thing every year, or deal with oil, or starting the d*mn thing.
Even where gas is cheaper than electricity, the power you get from electricity is going to be cleaner than you can achieve burning gas. Note that isn't true for heating with NATURAL gas, which burns very cleanly.
My mower is actually a cordless electric, I would hate dragging a cord around with me.
A typical gas mower pollutes more in a week than a person's automobiles.
