Description

As we all know, fossil fuels are harmful and finite. What if there was a way to have virtually infinite renewable energy? What if there was a way to harness some of the energy we, as humans, exert in our daily life? My idea is, in a way, similar to the crank flashlights. With my idea, we could convert gyms across the nation and globe into ones that store the energy used to move and power them. This form of energy would not only be renewable, but significantly les sharmful to the environment than that of fossil fuels. “In general renewable forms of energy areconsidered 'green' because they cause little depletion of the Earth’s resources, have beneficial environmental impacts, and cause negligible emissions during power generation” (Herzog,Lipman, & Kammen, p.21). If we are able to harness some of the energy we exert each day, we could have a reliable, renewable, green source of energy.
