I have a simple solution to the problems of carbon emissions, increasing energy demands, declining fossil fuels, unemployment and obesity.

Treadmills!

Yes, treadmills, lots and lots of them. Also exercycles, eliptical machines, etc. all of them hooked up to generators. Burn fat not oil. Put the unemployed to work generating electricity. Human powered electrical generation is the ultimate in renewable resources. High school and college students having trouble finding summer jobs? Not anymore, just go down to the local fitness center/community power plant and sign on for a summer long workout. Old folks bored silly at the nursing home? No problem, just hook the physical therapy unit into the grid. Workers get paid by the kilowatt, not by the hour and they enjoy increased health benefits. Peak demand meets peak performance. It is a win/win scenario. Stop being a part of the problem and become a part of the solution.
