There are already laws being written and a plan in place to make New York State the most energy efficient state in the Union.

Recently there were a few reports that New York State has already started to switch some of the lawn and garden equipment that it has to all electric and it won't be long until residents won't be able to get their hands on a new gas powered mower.
