I recently had the opportunity to be exposed to another concept in alternative energy possibilities. The article that was brought to my attention can be found at, http://crowd-farming.com/ and proposes an alternative energy resource provided by human movement. The original concept, devised by 2 MIT students has possibilities. MIT News. In simple terms, the energy produced by people walking through a shopping mall would provide the energy to sustain the malls energy needs.
The bottom line is that new concepts are needed that will bring into focus a direction away from fossil fuels as a major player in world energy production. Maybe our forefathers had the right idea to begin with. Rudolph Diesel manufactured the diesel engine to be operated on peanut oil, and Henry Ford produced his Model T to operate on ethanol. What were they thinking????
