That has to be one of the most ignorant business plans I have ever seen. LIBs are mentally unstable and need caged.
Sounds more like a “Rube Goldberg” contraption...
This is stupid a man is @.3 HP maybe charge a small battery.
After all the big ideas were publicized, someone pointed out that a healthy human can produce about 1/4 hp for extended periods of time, and that’s enough power for a couple lightbulbs. The energy required to produce and prepare the food necessary for the person to ride the bike is more than the power output of the person, so it’s actually anti-green.
But that never stopped a Progressive Great Idea(tm)! So, it probably died because it couldn’t get enough tax dollars from Uncle Sugar to make the right Watermelons rich.
Leftists also think people are going to set the clock, get up at dawn, and spend the day working when the government's grauanteed them an income, a place to live, health care, etc., and they can just as easily spend the day at the beach--at the movies--or in the sack.
This is the biggest fallacy of Marx's theories: The only way to get work out of people under conditions like that is at the barrel of a gun. And Marxists have no problem doing just that.
It went the same way as the $950,000 “green house” (that was about the size of and had the styining of a cheap mobile home) they built in Flynt. It was supposed to be totally off the electrical and gas grids and get all it’s heat from solar and wind power. The first time it dropped below 20 degrees all the pipes froze and the place flooded, causing thousands in damages.
Nice car wash at the link. Thanks. Great thread. BTTT!
What a shame. I thought reviving the early Victorian make-work program, much approved by Ebenezer Scrooge, the treadmill, would be a fitting self-parody on the part of the turn of the 21st century left. It was a scam instead. Sad.
