I care about littering. I care about what goes in our landfills. I care about neighbors who do not care about caring for their property. I don't care if people smoke but i do care about being in a position of smoking by proxy. etc etc

But environmentalism in itself exists for one main reason....it makes money.
So no I am not that overly concerned about my carbon footprint bcause most of it is hocus pocus

LoneyCat, I'm not going to get into a math match with you the point is there aren't that many running gas powered equipment.

That's my opinion.
You're entitled to yours.

The topic of this thread is golf carts NOT lawnmowers anyway.

Can we please stay on point or start your your own thread on that topic.


ps: a few facts it's 32' miles, 1,915 residential streets , total (not only lawn care )12,000 people work in The Villages, unemploy rate 8.1%. see

My dream is to be allowed by the Grand PU Pa to replace my lawn with beautiful rocks and ground cover as well as drought resistant plants. I'm tired of feeding the lawn, pouring tons of water and pestisides into the ground only to find out that I'm providing a very expensive bathoom for my neighbors' dogs. Seriously if allowed I'm sure that we would have some beautiful, creative yards like they have in Arizona.

If everyone did that, the developer couldn't make tons of money selling water.

I agree that Arizona has some creative and beautiful yards. But ... it’s Arizona ...it’s a dry, hot desert. They landscape that way because they have to, not because they want to. Do you want The Villages to look like a desert town? I have stone in some of my flower beds and they are hot, hot, hot. I would replace the stone with mulch if I could, but my dogs would eat the mulch. I could fill in my entire CYV yard with stone, but I never will. I love the feel and smell and green of grass. If you fill in your entire lawn with stone, where would Duffy walk?

Wow I have a Diesel mower! And I think like a bazillion people have a gas lawn mowers.

A modern Diesel Truck produces less emissions on its ideal torque curve pulling a fifth wheel than a single single Gas cart does off the line coming out of a tunnel .

New CNG Diesel's with Hybrid Transmissions. The Electric Motor Boost is impressive for towing. Maybe the next gen Corvette might sport a combinatuin hybrid electric motor transmission'automatic. Something like over 700 HP and over 30 mpg.

If a Gas cart is fuel injected and cat equipped then MPG can increase and emissions can decrease. No one says you can't have one. I Love my classic cars. The looks chrome mass sound. However they are no where near the horsepower nor fuel economy of today's stock vehicles? If everyone in TV had a 60's car you could not breath! Look at old NYC movies from the model t days. GAG!

If a electric Cart can get the range you need. If it is faster off the line than a Gas cart. Can have the same top end and is quite and clean why not have one. No one is talking about banning Trucks or Cars or Farm vehicles or Contractors vehicles . Were talking about fun simple clean village transportation. But wait GE just developed a new generation total electric freight train. Pulls its own batter pack, Changes out at stops.

Welcome to Plasma Boy Racing, home of White Zombie, the world's quickest street legal electric door slammer in the 1/4 mile drag.
