But, the future is electric and many consumers are slow to respond to any changes.

And I saved a lot of money using electricity rather than gas. Today, gas prices are much higher and could go up....way up....with world problems.

Understand. On my 10 acres in N. Florida I only mowed the road easement along two sides. I measured it one and that was a 5 mile walk almost every week in in the summer (back and forth over and over 20 times for 1/4 mile).
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now...
