No, mayors and all kinds of Dem politicians state they want to stop NG.

20 years ago, heck 5, nobody talked about trannies.  Now it’s all the rage and in our faces.  Tell me again how they won’t make this happen?

Multiple cities have banned natural gas with more jumping on the bandwagon. Don't have to be with low IQ people to know that.

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.

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.

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.

LOL...

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

Here in Arizona I've seen ZERO electric yard keeping tools used by the professional landscapers. And they are all over the place. They're all gas powered and for good reason. They are much lighter and more powerful while taking little time to refuel.

The only way they get professionals to use electric is by government outlawing the alternative. Hardly a sales pitch on why they are superior...

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.

I thought natural gas was now a bugaboo also?

You know, we’re not allowed to have natural gas stoves and heating anymore?

Have the EnviroMentals decided all that natural gas must be only for these plants?

First off, you’re comparing 2 small items to each other.

2nd, both are “electric”.

3rd, people will use corded if it’s easy access.  Batteries for these are now quite good, but they do require charging and lose power to handle those torques.  Plus, batteries are still big and cause a handling difficulty such as balance by their bulk.

Don’t scoff.  I made complaints like this about CDs 20 years ago and people looked at me funny like how could I say that?  Where are CDs now?  Those same people are scoffing at how old fashioned they are with my same critiques.

Not that I expect battery power tools to go away, but they are legitimate complaints - except batteries get better so long-term usage is possible without balance problems.

So the short answer is you have no idea regarding the question I asked you. It will just be magic that charges those batteries in 6 minutes...

And it just might be that all those defense contractors see dollar bills in replacing massive amounts of fully functional infrastructure regardless of the pros and cons. The military has become very politicized and is chasing goals that have little to do with actually fighting and winning wars.

Never mind it’s because of pressure and regulations, just like the regular world.

My whole career was also in defense contractors.  Glad I haven’t had to be part of this nonsense.  We’d probably have to hail and salute about green(red) design tropes all the time.  I thought it was bad 25 years ago or 30 even when the whackos were already pushing us to monitor how “good” we were.
