I just bought one yesterday in Texas. Gas and electric were the same price. Electric had about 75% of the leaf-blowing pow. I decided to do my part to kill the planet.

Actually, I think electric is better for most people (those not in the gardening business or owning large land tracks), as they are far easier to ‘start up’ and the batteries are sufficient for most people. That’s for the smaller stuff. For lawn mowers, batteries are seem only practical for relatively small yards, otherwise a lot of battery capacity is needed.
Before they do this, sensible thing to do would be to phase out 110v for universal 240v. Many 110v electric machines are too weak, and are not popular for that reason. Rechargeables will also charge faster.
