I wonder how many megawatts we could generate by wiring up the nation's urinals?

I remember the Double Layer from a grad school class or two, but I don't remember enough to figure out exactly what these people are doing. I'd be interested in knowing whether the power they get from this setup is greater than the power they'd get from sending the same pressurized water through some kind of turbine. If the power they are getting through this technique is less, it won't be used to power our electricity grids

I thought this was going to be a Scottish joke. When I was in England a few years back I heard this old one about the Welsh:
The Welsh have just discovered two new uses for sheep.
Meat and wool.

Vision of the future -- cell phone usage now requires two hands; one to hold the phone, the other to operate the pump for the hydroelectric energy cell that operates the phone.

The tipoff that this was a crank article was this phrase:
Hydrocarbon fuels are still the best source of energy, but they’re fast running out...
In the first place, Paul Erlich lost the bet; There are more petroleum reserves now that at any time in the past.
In the second place, what about zero-emission, environmentally-friendly nuclear power?
