[nmglug] Free Software, Free Energy

[joe at highmayhem.com]

Solar energy isn't all that free and off the grid. It require the use of 
batteries which have harm full environmental effects. The severity of 
the effects can be debated vs, the effects of "the grid".

I suggest body power as a cleaner alternative. Remember those wrist 
watches that were powered my the movement of it's self on ones wrist. 
Suppose a supper efficient computer that was powered by energy harnessed 
from key strokes and mouse use. For vegans like Troy and I this would be 
totally plant based energy.

ok, ok I'm dreaming but seriously I don't know about those batteries. 
What if every one used them?
