I'm not against electric things. I am against government shoving it down everyone's throats by force of law. I'm also against government subsidizing the wealthy with new electric toys while everyone else had to pay for it.

Industry is for electrical products because they are cheaper to make. Head of GM said the typical EV uses a 1/3 of labor and 1/2 the parts of a gas vehicle. Follow the money as Rush always aid. It's all about maximizing profit and minimizing cost.
Then recent strikes was mainly about EV's because the unions saw EV's  would eliminate much of their jobs,

You spend  too much time on FR with those low IQ idiots. Natural gas production, drilling, fracking under biden is at record levels in 2023 and 2024 is going to be even greater. Gas stoves will never be outlawed and natural gas will be used for the next 100 years.  Coalmine jobs in W.Va under trump declined every year and have shot back up under biden. Bet you won't see that at FR

Biden may tell the greenies he is going to outlaw fossil fuels but he is winking at the fossil fuel industry at the same time. Large co;s control the agenda in this country not the politcians.

At least you're a marginally entertaining f**king idiot.

Commercial grade line has only been very recently introduced. Not going to change overnight. Stihl said in press releases all commercial with be battery powered in future years due to ease of use.
Again watch youtube videos of real lawn  care co's trying lout the battery stuff. Nearly  all are very impressed.

LOL...

They think they are so entitled that their rights supersede everyone else's. They need a good hard dose of reality...

The commercial grade zero turns run 6-8 hours on a charge with regular grass and 3-4 hours with tall grass 10"+ or higher.  The lawn care service company carries extra batteries that pull out in seconds just like your handheld batteries but bigger. There is a you tube video of a Gravely or Simplicity battery powered zero turn that cut a 3 acre lawn with grass 2 feet high. The commercial lawn car owners was super impressed.

If you read the independent you tube videos of people with lawn care co;s using battery powered zero turns they are all very impressed.

Like the guy told me today in 5 years  all zero turns will be battery powered. No hydraulics to worry about, no belts or hoses to break or wear out. no oil changes etc. No maintenance. No noise or vibration. Lower center of gravity so they are  not as tip prone.

Don't take my word for it read the reviews on youtube.

Check out the new John Deere electric commercial grade zero turns and others.

That’s all very interesting.  I’m sure like cars, they have their place.  In the field, there will be issues.  Hills (my home I hope to get soon from moms estate has HUGE hill high grade), rough terrain, etc, all need power and torque.  Weather, too cold or hot or humid.

Watching something and using it once on a nice location is one thing.  Real life is another.

And again, the main reason they’ll be electric….force.  Regulations and coercion with subsidies.
