*Vultures Knob>>>Stationary Bike

Solution to two problems at once!?



The government should mandate that every American over 12 years old has to arrive at a generation station and ride a stationary bike connected to a generator for an hour two times a week.

This way we generate power, get people in shape and we are no longer lazy Americans! Voila!

Of course there would have to be steep penalties involved and assurances made that no one is exempt. Except for Hollywood liberals and those who can purchase "Non Bike Offsets."

Of course the poor shouldn't have to do it either as they are too busy being poor and all.

So that leaves the burden on the middle class much like the tax burden. It's a sound solution and should be adopted immediately!

Let's figure out how much power would be produced.

The average person can generate about 10 watts continuously using this method.

In 2 hours that is 20 watt hours.

To produce 1 kilowatt hour would require 100 hours of riding.

That is a lot of time to produce 1 kilowatt hour of electricity.

This would be very educational however to let people see how hard it is to produce energy.

They have a device similar to what you describe at the Exploratorium in San Francisco to let people see how much effort it take to produce electricity.

Reasonable, well thought-out plan. I second the motion.
haha good idea
me!!!!
Yes, you bet, sounds like the perfect answer. Am I ever glad I'm a Canadian our politicians are too wimpy too ever try something this progressive.
