“Mmm! Wings!”

…a thirty mile long extension cord so they don’t need a gas-guzzling tow truck to recover them when their electric vehicle batteries die.
Looking at my responses, I must say, that if brevity is the soul of wit, my wit must be a ginger.
…a cattleprod?
…being coated in honey and birdseed and chased by a hungry emu.
“Well, that wouldn’t make them less exhausted and frustrated.”
{Lights cigar:} “What’s your point?”

Scientific Method
-Falsifiability and the NULL hypothesis.
Hey! You’re that logic guy that told me that energy does not equal power!
Speaking truth to power guy.
Point of order:.
It was that you cannot calculate power from just electron volts. A volt is a joule per coulomb (energy over charge). An amp is a coulomb per second (charge over time). Power is joules per second.(energy over time).
Thus you need to multiply volts times amps to get power. The coulombs cancel out and you get joules per second. (Watts). If you like you can divide that answer by 745.7 to figure out how many horses you’ll need to produce that amount of power.
Ah. But I thought if I sent a million electron-volts through a parrot it might vroom.
The parrot will resist.
Ohm, that’s a joke son.
Additionally you can divide by 100 or so to figure out how many people Greta would need to power the grid.
Global energy consumption is about 58Kwh per day so you would need about 580 people riding bikes for 24 hours a day for every person on the planet. Once the unions show up you’ll need 1740 people in 3 – 8 hour shifts and people will just need to go without power for 30 minutes every 4 hours.
In a short amount of time you’ll figure out that the massive amount of organic kale you’ll need to power the cyclists will produce a renewable source of gas emissions. Combustion of which will produce water and CO2, both of which are necessary for the production of organic kale.
Please convert the units to “hogsheads per fortnight.”
A version of The Truman Show where they get put in a giant bio-dome like sound stage with no cars, prop solar panels on every corner, WiFi and organic food as needed.
Move them in, lock the door, let it go for a month, then send them a bill. If they can’t pay, then shut off all services and let it turn into Thunderdome.

…Dr. Pepper.
I think we should take up a collection for gas money to let them get to their next protest..just offering my two cents..

but I ain’t telling them so maybe they’ll all go away.
