Do-it-yourself Nuclear Phase-Out

Breed 4,6 billion of hamsters.

So many rodents you would have to keep to replace a nuclear power plant. Each animal would have to get through a daily stint of 4 hours in the treadmill. We owe this finding to the British student Peter Ash as well as his

Hamster Elvis

It is driving with its wheel a dynamo (see movie), to recharge Peter’s mobile phone. If this is not a marketing gag Elvis has trotted at least to the output power of 1,3 watt of a recharger.

We wheelchair users can do this as well:

We are spinning the wheel the whole day long.

Should we follow the example of the hamster, mount a generator to the wheelchair and feed the generolled power into the electricity grid?

If we wheelchair users are spinning the wheel together we would be doing something good for the environment day-to-day!

How about the slogan:

Handicap Power, from guaranteed accessible cultivation!

OK, the time has come now, you can institutionalize me!
