You do realize that when you use electricity, you may well be inadvertently using coal by means of coal power plants. I would say to put a solar panel on the lawn mower and mow during the day, when most people usually would.

Using electricity is just as bad as using fuel like petrol. The power stations have to produce more electricity and they do this by burning coal. This releases sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, where it reacts to form acid rain. Even though factories have done things to reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide being released, there is still alot of imissions being released into the atmospere.
