"Human Energy"

Dunno about Chevron, but I've been addicted to the Expresso.com recumbent bike simulators at my local gym lately and have found that during my 30 minute workouts I'm averaging 150 watts sustained with 450+ watt peaks... "human power"? Maybe... but I do know that my legs are definitely going to be ready for my mountain climb commute as soon as spring hits, which in Montana is pretty late unfortunately.

Are you talking about television? I won't have one in my home just because of what you're complaining about.

I've helped pedal power several biker parties and events by volunteering my watts worth.

pedaling is bad for the environment -you just have to eat more food to replace the calories.

thats worse than coal fired power stations

Anything that uses energy "is bad for the environment" since energy is a zero sum game, foo, unless the entity is a a part of the environment. Actually, if pedaling decreases ones weight and increases health, then they may result in less future medical attention which would expend less total energy so possibly it is better for the environment than most other alternatives.
 
the electric drive train on a bike is far more efficient than getting all your energy from food and converting it to kinetic energy in the only 20% efficient human body.
