Someone out there has got to be smart enough to figure this one out and if you are, we split the profits okay, I get a cut for coming up with the idea.

I was walking through the clinic and watching someone on the fan bike it gave me the idea that we, us, our own muscle energy could power the electric grid in the US. We by exercising could theoretically power our country to energy independence.

If there is a way, (and there is always a way), we hook up every piece of exercise equipment including nautilus, stationary bikes, treadmills (they would have to be non-electrically powered treadmills), stair masters (again without the power), rowing machines, elipticals and any other piece of moving gym equipment in every physical therapys, sports medicine, high school/college gym and health/fitness club and hook them up to the electrical grid.

Thats right, make those machines into exercise equipment that generates power by human exercise. The more you exercise the cheaper your memebership and our co-pay gets and if you exercise beyond that, the fitness center or therapy clinic pays you to come there.

We could solve three issues in the country by doing that: 1. Our foreign oil dependency 2. Our national obesity issues and ultimately by becoming healthier as a country we decrease healthcare costs (so technically a fourth solved issue) and finally 3. Our economic woes would potentially improve because we could be getting paid to work out.

Move over T. Boone I just came up with a better energy plan and I bet it would cost substantially less than even the $700 billion yours would cost because minus the wiring and hooking things up, the infrastructure (health clubs/fitness factilities and therapy clinics) are already in place with the exercise equipment there.

So, if anyone out there is reading this and has the wherewithall to do this.....give me my cut when you do.
