Since we can't have wind energy in Charlestown, how about this?

But is it just another form of wind power?
By Will Collette

Will another alternative energy source
be banned in Charlestown?
While we all wait with bated breath for Ruth Platner and her merry Planning Commission to come up with an ordinance to allow homeowners to have wind energy as an optional  energy source, we've started looking at other alternatives. Arrrrr!

Given that Ms. Platner has decreed that everything is prohibited unless it is expressly permitted under Charlestown's Code of Ordinances, it's hard to come up with many such options.

I found a video of one promising approach, but there are two problems with it. One is the problem of whether it is permitted under our Code of Ordinances. The other is that it involves cats. Ruth Platner hates cats.

Judge ye fer ye-selves the merits of this newly discovered option. Video after you jump the plank.
