LOOK OUT: USA Today Is Coming for Your ‘Pollution’-Spewing Lawn Mower
NewsBusters ^ | 5/2/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

USA Today is raising the eco-warrior cry over the new “battleground” in the fight against the climate bogeyman: Americans’ lawns.

No, we’re not kidding.

The liberal newspaper doom mongered how “[g]as leaf blowers and lawn mowers are shockingly bad for the planet” and praised how “[b]ans are beginning to spread.” USA Today immediately kicked off its nutty April 30 climate agitprop by making it seem like the fight against lawnmowers was a noble crusade against Thanos’ minions in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame (2019): “Your lawn may be the next climate change battleground. And parks. And playgrounds.”

The newspaper ludicrously propagandized that “[r]egulators and clean-air advocates are increasingly eyeing the pollution emitted by small gasoline engines used to power lawn mowers and leaf blowers as they seek to blunt climate change.” The newspaper apparently found this nonstory so important that it plastered the item on the front page of its May 1 print edition. Climate avengers, assemble!

This is stoooppppiiiiidddd! Battery powered yard tools work fine in use cases, but not in many cases.

I have a fresh 5-gallon can of ethanol-free gasoline; perhaps it’s time to mix up a fresh batch of 32:1 2-cycle fuel for my old Lawn-Boy.

Lawnmowers, air conditioners, washers/dryers...it never ends. The enviro-lunatics are determined to return all of us to a mid-19th century existence.

I actually switched over to an electric lawn mower about 2 years ago. It was a convience thing. No gas, no oil, no filter, no spark plug, no freaking pull cord you yank a dozen times before it catches. Just drop in the battery and hit the button. Did the same with the leaf blower too.

"Mexican bagpipes"

Never heard that one before. That is truly funny -- actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.

“I actually switched over to an electric lawn mower about 2 years ago.”

Biden sent the price of lithium and the cost of lithium battery devices soaring.

As a result, I’ve not purchased a lithium battery lawnmower.
