It’s coming soon…as part of the Obama Energy Plan. Forget about oil and clean coal and carbon trading. This is the real deal. We’ll be able to power our own mobile phones someday.
Thank goodness! We are SAVED!!
Hamsters in jackets harnessed for energy
Scientists have managed to harness the energy-producing power of hamsters by fitting them with tiny detector jackets.
Proto-type for Future Human Nano-Generators
The devices are strapped to the animals as they run on their cage wheels, capturing the biomechanical energy they release as they exercise.
Experts believe the technique could one day be used to capture power produced by humans.
SNIP
Although it would take 1,000 hamsters to generate enough energy to power a mobile phone, Dr Wang said the technology could have practical applications when applied to larger animals and humans.

Personally, I’ve been a gerbil owner and think their personalities are better than what hamsters display. Let’s give them a try, too…Never hurts to have a backup plan!!

InsightAnalytical -- Watching Our World 
I’m okay with this plan only so long as both hamsters and gerbils make a living wage. Also they must only work 40 hours a week and have the option, no secret vote, to form labor unions.
I smell a hamster union…(of course with no option for secret ballots).
This combined with the WSJ headline “Scientists Target Sheep Belching” yesterday, plus the Obama Reordering Priorities in Huge Budget……all make me think our world has completely gone nuts.
Haha….what about benefits? Pensions? The sheep being put in boxes to eat and pass gas might catch “wind” of hamster unions……
Oh, my, there goes “UNITY” out the window…Hamsters vs Sheep…let’s rumble!
Experts believe the technique could one day be used to capture power produced by humans.
Are these the jobs that will be created in the Obamadrama future world?? Step right up folks, get a job in our newest industry…..energy production! Just climb up on this wheel, strap on your official energy jacket and start running on the wheel to nowhere!
Obama has us going in circles anyway, so we might as well call it employment and get paid for it. Doesn’t look like he’s going to meet that promise of 4million jobs any other way IMO.
Why do I keep thinking Matrix?
I keep seeing the Stargate wormhole door in that hamster wheel…and we’re going through the wormhole/rabbit hole these days!
The obvious application isn’t pets, but kids – making them run a treadmill to charge up their iPods, cell phones, Gameboys and whatever else they play with. Wouldn’t make smarter kids, but it would lessen the childhood obesity problem.
Of course, I’d make the kids run in a giant hamster wheel, but then I doubtless would have been a Very Bad Parent.
Cesar Millan has been onto this for AGES…he puts dogs on treadmills all the time!
Actually, if we’ve probably got the ENTIRE COUNTRY already on the treadmill/’wheel of trying to keep up with their credit card payments…so it should be EASY to generate enough power to at least keep the lights on in the White House!!!
I declare, IA, everytime you come up with some new gimmick you make me feel dumber and dumber. This leave a reply is great. It must be nice to have so many brains. LOL

Since Scooter Libby was prosecuted for outing Valerie Flame, why wasn’t Boren prosecuted?
