But I would rather think electric vehicles as a future of transport. That is stationary electric power plants to also… Continue

Just read an article about an Italian inventor who has created a simple invention that can transfer human movements into energy. He stores it in batteries and it is being used to help with some of the energy usage at a gym. A dance club called Watt is hooking up the dance floors to batteries as well. They didn't include any mention of sex clubs but those vibrating beds could sure get a lot of juice with people being busy. Why am I mentioning this on our gasification network? Because its individ… Continue
