Would you support laws to encourage or require human power generation?

[lightbulb27]

California and Colorado have power generation issues. This problem... isn't going away in our lifetime.

Humans... output energy that is not being captured today... but it could be... by deploying devices to capture that energy.

C'mon people!! Lets charge those e-cars!!! We're Californians!

Humans can generate 50-150 w/hour. That isn't much, and no... it is nowhere close to that highly dense "oil" we burn today. But it's something... times 400 million people, could be fun, beneficial, and a lot of it is being wasted. If people want free handouts from the govt... get a ticket from machine that shows they generated some energy today and helped the economy!

How far would you go to promote capturing human energy... for reduction of reliance on other energy sources?

Regulation or Tax benefit schemes to promote capturing energy at exercise facilities

Not economical vs coal/gas/oil/nuclear, so don't waste the copper.

Promote human competitions (and thus new business) to generate power.

It's kind of a interesitng idea, that would be a cool way to excercise, knowing cycling is keeping the lights on at the gym. Even nicer if maybe you could get a discount on your membership by how much power you generate or something like that.

No. I think there are far better methods of producing electricity and human efforts are better spent doing other things.

Lol. This is extremely scary. Buy at the same time somewhat genius. But still scary. I'm not sure if I should give you a Like, because I don't want the blood on my hands. I will give you props for creativity, though!

[lightbulb27]

haha thankyou, my goal is to be trueish, witty, and stretch the mind. think of the wasted human energy being wasted now... which is really just plants and animals being burned in our bodies as calories.
it could go a bad direction of course...

[Jamie05rhs]

Yeah

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks for the MHO. :)

Leftoids would rather resort to slavery with a smiley face than admit that fossil is superiors to green energy production.

[lightbulb27]

nothing produces as much kwh as good ole oil! trouble is the planet warming up puts us/them on a mission... not impossible, but electric isn't it.

[Sargentcaptain]

If the 'green' lunatics wanted to do something about climate change they'd be in favor of nuclear energy. If they don't want that, I'm gonna be firmly in the 'let's have reliable sources of energy and prevent us from freezing and starving to death' camp.

We could all go to Gilligan's Island and see what the professor and the Skipper use for power

No genocide or eugenics option, doesn't give the democrats anywhere to vote for

Personally hydrogen and nuclear are the future options

[lightbulb27]

genocide? you are saying wipe out people to reduce power needs is the chosen solution?

[Opinion Owner]

Democrats have been try to wipe people out years, illegal wars/conflicts to elder care facilities full of COVID

[AngryCarl]

Make everyone responsible for generating their own power. If you stop cycling, the lights go out.

[TroyDT]

No, I am not in favor of giving the idiots in D. C. even more power.

[MCheetah]

There's no "No" option here.

[Anonymous]

That seem like it'd be very inefficient.

[lightbulb27]

it is, but it's still power that's being wasted...

[joeldalton]

lol, ok morpheus.

[lightbulb27]

you could be peddling right now charing up your neighbors wifi...:)

[joeldalton]

fuck my neighbor.
