Why a push to outright ban and not just use electric?

>The roar of leaf blowers has long been ubiquitous in fall. But as more US cities ban the gas-powered devices, that’s starting to change.
And if you want to be picky about it, yes, that's kinda of an "unnecessary" ban, but you just wouldn't get most people to change their habits
But see my other comment, I stopped reading prematurely as what I thought was the end of the article was just a massive advert.
And when it comes to air pressure, gas blowers have more CFM than electric ones.
Electric equipment can also not be used if there's rain, and the batteries are not resilient to cold.
I can't imagine they don't pay for themselves within couple months if you actually run a business. The amount of fuel used by any greenkeeping business is non-trivial, and batteries are not that expensive.

Since when? Of course it can be.
>>and the batteries are not resilient to cold.
This only really starts to have a measurable impact in the kind of cold where I'd question your sanity if you were still blowing leaves outside.
