The change over of small motors to battery is more to do with smog than carbon dioxide.
Industry caters to areas that sell the most of its product... they engineer for that market.
It why a snowthrower manufacture is not wondering what product improvements a homeowner in Miami wants.
Most high density residential consumers have smaller driveways... that is why the industry focuses on machines around 24" to 30" wide. They sell most of their machines to the Big Box stores... and the Big Box stores note that 24" to 30" two stage are the largest sellers in our area. With more machines being sold in southern NH than in central or northern due to population density.

No, I'm suggesting that unless we legitimately address industry—regulations, incentives, etc.—what we do singularly will be meaningless.
Consumer demand isn't going anywhere, but if there's value for both the company and consumer, then we can make the shift.
