Sanity on Clotheslines

According to a radio report this morning, it looks as though Ontario is going to pass some kind of law to override condominium corporations that ban clotheslines for aesthetic reasons. If we are going to have increased greenhouse gas emissions, increased smog, brownouts and everything else associated with high levels of summer power consumption, I'd like to be damn sure that it isn't a function of people who don't like to look at damp clothes in their neighbours' yards.
