Tree Power

As usual I'm a little skeptical of alternative power sources. I mean solar and wind, as if that is ever going to work. Clearly we need to be burning some shite to get some power around here. Well what if that wasn't the case, and instead of sucking down a million bajillion barrels of oil per day we could simply plug all our devices into a friendly tree. The rumour is that pine trees are too soft to make good power and for some real action you need a decent gum tree. But if tree power is the way of the future then I am so planting a small forest on my balcony.
