So what we did is get an electric mower that can run off our photoelectric system. If one looks closely in the attached picture the solar panels are visible. Now admittedly in Wisconsin, there is not the photo power we had in Colorado but with a hyped up system we can run about 70% of our house on our power and now we can cut the Grass with it.
It is true that we have to wait for sunny days but that is OK even though this summer they have not been abundant. We also trimmed back one of the big (monstrous) Red Maples in the yard hoping for more light both for the panels and the garden---and we are going to cut more.
Sure the mower required energy to build it and a goat is still probably more green but that is in the future.
To top off our efforts in the revolution we just purchased a 8 cubic foot freezer that runs off 12 volt batteries thus it too is on the photo system.
The revolution is on---too bad no one else gives a shit, but we are digging it. Unfortunately, most of this fancy cargo is for rich people. Che's was the uprising of the poor. The rich will not take arms (or solar power) and step forward and lead the charge.
