Listening to: [ Will.iam featuring Fergie - True ]
I just saw a television ad that promoted electric lawn mowers and the selling point was that it (the lawnmower) is environmentally friendly.
"okay... whatever"
But it just occured to me. How can anything that uses a battery be green?
Electric cars, lawnmowers and Eva Mendes and the like are anything but green.
Especially Mendes who i would say is closer to red HOT.
Don't believe me?
Okay, bullshit aside let's think about where the electricity comes from. Yep, here in Aus i believe the figure is somewhere in the 7-80% of Australia's electricity is powered by coal.
And where does coal come from? If i did my homework right in grade 2; from the god damned ground. The issue arises when the average consumer who is generally expected to be a little be "green" in this day and age purchase electric products in retrospect of their nasty gas, petrol powered counterparts hoping when they go home they're saving the world one watt at a time.
Think again tools, cuz unless most people realise most electricity gets wasted as heat and sound while it travels in the power lines to recharge the god damned battery you're probably better off using petrol as i'm certain it shaves some energy loss.
What make me realise that "green" for vomit lawnmower is a fraud is the recharge time and official run time. It takes 12 hours to recharge the battery which is good for 1 and a half hours.
I read somewhere it takes 2 lumps of coal to send an email, and sending emails takes 2 minutes right?
Let's get the facts right, 70% of most consumers who have a stupid electric Earth saving lawnmower will be using approximately 1440 coals to fire up their stupid mower (using 2 lumps of coal for 10 minutes of electricity).
So take 3 moronic vegan, tree hugging planet savers who buy into this fraud of a contraption and like to save the world by keeping their gardens nice and green as their only hobby at the expense of our planet they are trying to save means 4320 pices of coal.
Given the popularity of stupid Toyota's and Hondas saturating the market with crappy electric vibrators with four tyres they call cars the figures for a greener planet seems pretty grim.
Electric cars are a doomed project from the beginning until our own Stephen Chow discovers hydro-fusion.
Wanna save the world?
Buy a petrol lawmower that uses 100ml of Earth cancer liquid (aka petrol) until tools realise electricity doesn't make a difference and probably does the opposite.
Trusty petrol.
When the power plants go down, who do they turn on to reliably power our city? mini PETROL guzzling generators.
I think it took 20 lumps of coal just to write this blog (it is true btw.) so i'm doing my bit. For all those who've bothered to read this crap article of no true reference (but i think i'm close) my 2 cents you've also wasted electricity and ur life. Kudos to you!
Ahh, the world is a sweet place. This is Jason Chung reporting, goodnight and suck my wang.
Tools.

p.s: Jessica Simpson is the ugliest stuck up mole and i hope she gets hit by an electric car while crossing the street with Paris Hilton. We don't need people who's pebbles in their million dollar malibu mansions have more personality than they do nor do we need electric cars right now.
