The US government is coming after your....................gasoline powered leaf blower too! And we all know where this will lead: first the leaf blower, then the weedeater and finally the lawn mower.

It's late fall, and that means one thing: It's leaf blower season. To the lasting irritation of many (especially The Atlantic's James Fallows), for the next several weeks communities across the country are going to be subjected to the blower's endless wheedling drone and associated plume of carcinogenic haze. Gas-powered leaf blowers are indeed bad. But the problem runs deeper. In fact, all small gasoline engines — used in things like weed whackers and lawn mowers. The government must regulate lawn equipment. Seriously. The government-must-regulate-lawn-equipment-seriously, mowers, tillers, and so forth — are astoundingly filthy and should be phased out as soon as possible. It's time to electrify all lawn equipment. The problem with small engines is that they generally have a primitive design and little or no emissions control technology. And with people fueling their small tanks with jerry cans, they also tend to lead to lots of spills. While cars and trucks have leaped ahead with catalytic converters, advanced combustion techniques, and computer controlled fuel injection, small engines are still using technology that was outdated in the 1960s. Worst of all are two-stroke engines, which require oil to be mixed in with the fuel, about a third of which is forced out the exhaust instead of being burned, and so produce immense pollution as a basic function of operating.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
