Trying to be an “informed citizen” just gets more depressing with every passing day; attempting to achieve “peak stupidity” is not a worthy goal for a society.
Read yesterday that some drooltard official in CA claimed running an IC lawnmower for an hour was more polluting than driving a 2017 Toyota Camry from NYC to Orlando, FL.
Seems highly unlikely, but I’m just some old white flyover dumbass who doesn’t believe in science. I’m also too stump ignorant to understand that electric landscaping equipment is “zero emission”.
To paraphrase Dean Vernon Wormer, “Fat, murderously angry and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
BBL (unless Gaia exacts some sort of horrible retribution from me for my wicked ways).
Happy Napping Heifer Tuesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!
Apropos Gov. Noisome’s banning of small IC engines, I read that a renewable energy plant in the UK that runs on biomass is one of the most polluting energy plants in the entire EU -- exceeding many of the dirtiest coal-fired plants. The CO2 and PM10 produced by the plant don’t count, though, because its renewable!
Happy Catnapping Calf Tuesday, Wheelizens!

Happy Tuesday -- hello, Fatwa. Much surprised this morning as we still have power.
Regarding CA’s latest ban on gasoline-powered things, all I can say is that a lawnmower is an assault weapon and its target is Mother Earth.

Drive-by:
Hai, Sven and Paddy!
Sven --
Glad you still have power; hope it stays on.
Paddy --
I saw something about that UK biomass plant yesterday; IIRC, it runs on wood pellets or something similar.

======================
Just gonna leave this here:
Very wrong -- well done!
My reaction is always: Why TF didn’t I think of that. It’s so obvious!!!
Third world power in CA. And they don’t want you generating your own power. Is it time to leave CA?
I understand though. I’ve wanted to move to New Hampshire for a long time, but I’m too timid.
Back from Doctor visit. Three new prescriptions for me. Woo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
