    i totally agree with this idea. it is a huge energy pull!! big waste. my building won't let me have my drying rack on my balcony and the other day i had it out there for a moment while i was washing my floors and got a complaint!
    i don't want to waste the energy and it also prolongs the life of my clothes.
    the premiere of ontario lifted the ban there...

    Save consumers $30 a year as dryer use would be reduced by 25 per cent
    Cut greenhouse gas emissions, as five dryers produces about the same amount of emissions as an average-sized car
    Reduce demand on the power grid, as dryers use about 900 kilowatt hours of electricity a year.

    in other countries people don't even have dryers! and they don't want them.
