Yep, air pollution.
I guess having huge forest fires because of whimsical forestry practices is less of a problem.
There's also the issue of evil charcoal grills as well as natural gas we Californians need to be saved from.

I do have a chainsaw attachment for a Gravely. It's horrendously impractical and a pain in the poop chute to use, but it's wicked awesome!
My workhorse chainsaw is a Stihl MS 271. I also have a nice, light MS180 for light pruning, brush work, or limbing a downed tree.
Growing up, we had a McCulloch chainsaw on the farm. It spent most of its life in the garage of the farmhouse. That garage had flooded several times and that old saw was always below the high -water mark.
That saw was in brief, awful. Starting it was a nightmare. The compression release would occasionally cease releasing mid pull and the saw would be ripped from beneath your foot that was pinning it to the ground. The bar would inevitably contact your leg and the teeth would scrape the flesh from your shin. It had no chain brake and it weighed a ton.
I remember fondly the day we were at wits end and took it to the small engine guy. He had a long, dark beard and wore bib overalls. My dad plopped that yellow saw on the counter and as the bearded fellow came out of the back room he made a cross with his two index fingers and hissed. We left that day with a brand new Stihl chainsaw and never looked back.

True or not true? I just heard on the radio the FEMA sent electric chainsaws to North Carolina for clearing roads after Helene, because of pollution.
How are they going to recharge the batteries if there's no electricity?
Stranger yet, according to this source

They aren't even battery powered chainsaws.
I went to a fact checking site and the only response to "electric chainsaws" was that FEMA didn't requisition private property for the relief effort.
