I heard that on the radio yesterday. Where do these statistics come from? Invergrove heights, MN is doing a program now where you get 50 bucks for your old lawn mower if you switch to a "more efficient" electric mower. When I had a yard I never found filling my mower to be problematic.
Someone made that number up in an attempt to influence the weak minded. probably a guy who owns an electric lawn mower company. Or his senator wife.
