Thirsty Relic Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 2 hours ago, Padders said: Why can't the government set up Gyms in every locality, the equipment used in these Gyms could be converted into energy producing machines. This energy could be channeled into the National Grid, thereby doing away the need for expensive fossil fuels. Every fit and well person receiving benefits should be made to attend and help solve the current crisis (no pun intended) This energy crisis can be easily remedied by using human power. The answer is in our own Hands and Feet. Only just seen this thread. Somewhat similar to ideas I thought we'd done away with long ago (workhouses for the poor, prisoners breaking rocks and pushing round the mill to grind corn). Oh well, we're going back in time are we? Mixed feeling here - does this mean beer prices will be back to 1d a pint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A constant supply of free energy.. A new form of National Service, it could also help cut the high crime rates. Or we could provide opportunities for 18 year olds that will lead them into rewarding careers, and become contributors to society, rather than using them as slave labour.

Of course the big energy suppliers would never allow this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
