We allow them to do this to us so we deserve every thing they do.

We know how bad it is yet we do nothing to stop them other than go to the polls and get screwed every 2 or 4 years. We do nothing over and over and want one person to make it stop.

Just so sick of it.

While I don’t doubt small scale usage by the typical unskilled homeowner is probably easier with electric, it is wholly insufficient for all day usage.

..and how does an electric chain saw work without a chain?

Please stop delivering all oil to Minnesota, right now and never restart it.

Should affect state agencies first for a few years, then the general public. If it doesn’t work out for the state, it’ll go away.

Birch harvesting was a big deal when I was up there around Bemiji many years ago. I suspect you are right.

And your point is? Funny how you think two-cycle engines are evil but you don’t mention a word about tyranny. Exactly how is your mind wired?

I joined the I.A.P.I. (Ice Age Prevention Initiative).

We share knowledge about important things like choosing the right leaf blower and how to leave you car idling overnight without it getting stolen.

Our goal it to keep the planet warm and prevent the next Ice Age.

“.. ensure Minnesotans have the healthy climate and clean energy future they deserve.”
Dear Gov. Walz- Minnesota’s “climate” blows in from N. & S. Dakota, at a rate of 20-80mph all day, every day. How the hell does a gas chainsaw affect air in MN for more than 15 minutes?
You are a money grabbing fascist, abusing your power at every turn. Your day will come, not soon enough, but it will come.

Electric lawnmowers will use MORE energy, which now comes from petroleum products.

you got a lawn tractor that runs on 56V batteries and can pull a car carrier trailer behind it?

I’m doubtful.

And a 24” wide or larger snowblower that can cut through 2 foot deep wet snow and throw it 30 feet or more, let alone last through clearing a 3 car driveway at least twice? I doubt 56V would cut it there, especially in the cold.

Electric has it utility and it is convenient, but it isn’t for everything.

The upfront cost of cordless electric lawn tools that are worth a crap is just prohibitive. Then you have batteries that need replacing every few years as they lose capacity or capability.

2 stroke engines are great if you know how to treat them and maintain them. Maintenance is so simple that it is hardly worth discussing.

Want to see some fun?

Just wait til they try to outlaw gas-powered boat motors!
