Free, clean energy

Rather than discuss the increasing cost of energy and its negative impacts on the environment, I'd like to focus on the solution. I do not think it is necessary to invest billions in hydrogen technology or build more hybrids. I do not necessarily find the answer in wind, solar, or ethanol (other than perhaps drinking copious amounts of it). I find it wasteful to neglect the abundant reserves of energy freely at our disposal, waiting to be unleashed frequently and with great vigor.

First, we must comprehend the huge potential of energy being wasted. I believe there is one abundant source completely untapped by the power companies...incompetence. Few deny it pervades our lives like a perpetual chlorine fog. Imagine if you will the canyons of nefarious waste and utter neglect of human potential sapped at the expense of pride and carelessness. Imagine the vast oceans of productivity frittered away by irrational decisions from ill-informed leaders. Where others see a great boulder on the back of society, I see solid gold.

Just imagine the pent up frustration built up inside the deft and knowledgeable underlings who participate in appeasing the egos of their inflated, burnt out, psychotic, or otherwise useless commanders, destroying all that is creative, honorable and good for the sake of securing next week's paycheck. Right now all this rage is generally wasted through cathartic outbursts directed at coworkers, spouses, neighbors, dogs, whatever. I propose we harness, concentrate and redirect this natural resource so that it can be used for constructive purposes.

Imagine the wrath that could be unleashed on the very subject of one's frustration - perhaps a padded representation of such filth affixed to the top of a pole beside every worker's chair. A sort of punching bag on a pedestal. Imagine the incessant pounding that could be delivered on a regular basis to such a statue. Now, mount this pedestal onto a generator's drive train beneath the floor. The electricity that could be collected and distributed to the power grid. Indeed, imagine acres of cubes with such mannequins being systematically pummeled for hours each day, blanketing the earth with free, clean energy. This is a noble dream my friends.
