I call it the Energy Based Economy or the EBE or EnerBE.
The idea is simple.
Instead of relying on fossil fuels which may contribute to the pollution of the environment and will soon be depleted, or solar energy which can only be depended upon when the day is bright and cumbersome technology will have to be invented and then continually improved upon to improve the efficiency of it, why not use human activity itself to generate and store energy for later consumption?
This may sound like something out of The Matrix – which I don’t deny it is – but hear me out because it is probably more benevolent or at least benign than you think.
This solution solves multiple problems -
1. Poverty.
2. Environmental damage due to irresponsible usage of fossil fuels to generate energy.
3. And it helps to improve the general health and well-being of the population.
Here is how this 3-in-1 solution works -
Build Kinetic Energy Farms (KEF) that produce and store energy by having people who have presently no jobs or have inadequate skills to contribute to the economy but are fit and healthy or wish to be fit and healthy enter spherical treadmills that produce energy when these humans run inside it.
Or create huge gym-like facilities whereby each movement of the gym equipment’s components are not wasted and converted into storable and usable energy for later consumption. In this way, gym memberships can be free because people just pay by the energy they contribute to generate through their activity.
And banks need not give out loans and receive payments with interest (which creates debt problems leading to other social ills) but just buy the energy that people seeking financial help can produce in its bank-owned kinetic energy farms. Then these banks sell the energy to the government which then distributes this energy in an egalitarian manner to all citizens. Banks can compete with each other in terms of how much they pay for the energy generated by their customers in their Kinetic Energy Farms.
