In their pursuit of combating "climate change," Democratic lawmakers are proposing a bill that threatens to land ordinary citizens behind bars for up to a year if they're caught using gas-powered gardening tools.
From Slay News:
Last week, the Democrat lawmakers introduced House Bill 1868.
The legislation seeks to “reduc[e] emissions from outdoor power equipment.”
According to the bill, gas- and diesel-powered landscaping tools “emit a host of air pollutants.”
These “pollutants” are allegedly “contributing to climate change and negatively impacting public health.”
The bill cites findings from Democrat President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The EPA claims gas-powered lawnmowers contribute 5% of the country’s air pollution.
According to the EPA, over 17 million gallons of fuel are spilled yearly while refueling outdoor power equipment.
How ludicrous is it that firing up a tool to tackle a pile of leaves has become the Democrats' top priority?
Instead of addressing urgent issues like soaring inflation, the homeless crisis, and immigration failures – matters that significantly impact our lives – their focus is on confiscating your lawnmower and stove.
