The Gov’t should create free exercise establishments that just have huge constantly constantly running day and night Tread Mills like escalators. You hop on or off whenever you want, to generate free electricity.
Naturally the 10,000 sq ft buildings would need to be all over the place like those walk-in clinics, and have food serving dining areas and maybe even bars for socializing. (create jobs too) The food and drink vendors would pay rent to help the overhead.
Naturally it might put some of those normal Gyms out of business. Just for walkers. But, free electric for the grid. Can you imagine? A free place to exercise and socialize? And contribute to fighting climate change at the same time?
Millions of those conserve energy extremists would dive right in. Naturally the name created for the establishments would need to imply they are “Energy Saving” “Exercise” and “Socializing” or “Pub” in the name. Got an idea for the name?
Some day, 5 or 10 years in the future, if they don’t stop fighting climate change, some politician or investor will come up with the idea, and make it happen like Right Turn on red, and police using SUVs, No smoking, Seat belts and so many things, that took so long to happen. Maybe we’ll see left turn and straight on red too allowable when no cars are even visible like in the middle of the night.
When electric power is out, during a storm, we are all doing the same thing. We yield right of way to each other.
