The Kaleidoscope Energy Rainbow Monitoring Isotopic Transponder, or KERMIT for short, was originally a Penn State University project intended to track Rainbows and determine if their frequency can be used as a predictor of lightning strikes, with the eventual goal of harnessing the power of a storm to produce electricity. The project was scrapped in late 2006 when Pennsylvania's legislature shifted in favor of wind turbines by ruling that wind turbines and related equipment may not be included in property-tax assessments. Funding for the KERMIT project was pulled, and the equipment already in the field was decommissioned.
