This is hilarious. OWS protesters in New York are now thinking about using bike-powered generators to power their lights, cooking equipment, etc.
I wonder if any of the power-generating bikes can support Michael Moore's weight.
But the protesters are coming up with a new solution – a stationary bike and generator connected to a battery. “We’ve got five bike-powered generator systems that are coming from Boston and we’ve got five more plus other ones that are going to supplement as well so we’re completely, completely off the grid,” said demonstrator Lauren Minis.

They will not generate enough power to cook a pot of beans. This has gone from ugly to worse. And this is how they want us all to live under their regime.

About Me
I am a graduate from Ithaca College with a Bachelor’s in Music (trombone) and a minor in Environmental Studies. I love to travel, hike, write poetry, indulge in nature, learn, look at glass art, read, think, talk, love, make music.
I am passionate about music but also about environmental issues and social justice. I envision a future where there are many sustainable communties, and youth and other people feel empowered to make and create change. I also feel strongly about the arts and their importance in education and the community. All children deserve a quality education.
I have become more focused on health, and besides being vegan, have put more time into my body and my health. I have been trying to meditate and do yoga and pilates as often as I can.

Besides, pedaling will warm them up the old-fashioned way.
