   the problem is, even if you put all inmates cycling, you'd hardly gather   
   enough energy to run a dozen metro trains in NYC. The same is for   
   "clean" energy. Even if you put a photovoltaic or a wind turbine on   
   every free field across USA, you wouldn't generate enough electricity to   
   replace all conventional (including natural gas) power stations.
