Californias Cap & Trade scheme is the equivalent to being forced to pay a fee and ride that bike. In a hilarious vignette that illustrates in miniature the absurd unfeasibility of the whole green energy scam, the Occupiers had set up a bicycle connected to a dynamo so that the computer in the media center would be powered by renewable and sustainable energy! Yeah!
Except
well, its really really hard to pedal day and night to keep the computer running, so the media center is in reality powered by an extension cord connected to the evil carbon-belching power grid. Note the feeble and ineffectual greenish wire running from the dynamo to the computers. Oh the shame! http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2011/10/24/is-occupy-oakland-as-bad-as-they-say/2/
Exactly! They had the same setup at Oakland as they did at Zuccotti Park (Wall Street). Supposedly, in NY they had some tech gurus from MIT and elsewhere supposedly helping them with the bike generator setup — but it looked primitive to me. That’s what smoking dope around the clock will do to your brain. Garbage in, garbage out.
