Since December, when Delaware became the first state to launch its Cash for Appliances effort, 35 states have followed suit. Of those, nine have already exhausted their funding, including five that saw demand so high all funding was reserved in a few hours.
But today, nine states begin their programs in efforts designed to coincide with Earth Day.
