Electric Lawn Mowers – Green but Grievous

Green Lawn Mower
BRYAN, TX — The Texas Municipal Power Agency encourages homeowners to use electric lawn mowers rather than gas to promote cleaner air. They are offering vouchers worth $150 toward the purchase of an electric-powered machine, corded or cordless.
You’re thinking, I gotta push this reel mower or work my way around power cords? That’s a big sacrifice for clean air. Well, Black and Decker does have a handy 24V battery mower but it will only cut up to 1/3 of an acre at a time. Then there’s a solar powered cordless from Solaris – that sounds neat.
Either way, you only have until August to pick up a voucher, or until they run out. Sears associates will hand them out to customers with a current driver’s license or your BTU bill. For more information on these and other rebate programs offered by the local utility company, call or email…
Happy Gardening,
