So they classified clothes lines as a renewable energy system so people could use &amp;quot;solar power&amp;quot; to dry their clothes as a energy conservation mechanism.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;There&amp;#x27;s a whole generation of kids growing up today who think a clothesline is a wrestling move,&amp;quot; [Premier] McGuinty said during his announcement.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;* &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;toronto.ctvnews.ca&amp;#x2F;ontario-premier-lifts-outdoor-clothesline-ban-1.290136&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;toronto.ctvnews.ca&amp;#x2F;ontario-premier-lifts-outdoor-clo...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current Ford government repealed the law that allowed for this, so I&amp;#x27;m not sure what the legal status is now exactly.</text></comment>
