Put Lance Armstrong on one of your bikes, I saw on TV he can power the whole espn campus
.
There are tons of ways to generate electricity that have been tried through the years, many of which are not optimally efficient, but would work in the T2k world.

It ain’t pretty. And apparently neither are Rwandan jails, overcrowded since the Rwandan genocide. But they did win the Ashden Award for sustainable energy in 2005 by using prisoners’ feces to create combustible methane biogas that can be used for cooking.
The process requires putting human or animal waste into a "digester," which ferments it using bacteria to release methane gas that is captured and burned as fuel. The technology was developed at the Kigali Institute of Science, Technology and Management and they say it has reduced the annual prison wood fuel bill of $1 million by 60%.
Plus, it gives human powered energy a whole new meaning!
It’s not only human feces that are being used, though. San Francisco is turning doogie droppings into biofuel, Riverside, California is using cow manure to create home energy and Minnesota is using poultry litter. Everybody’s dooing it!
The thing I always remember about electricity came from an interview I saw with an electrical engineer after a major power failure here in the US a number of years ago. He said that the electric companies were good at getting power where it is needed, and providing an uninterrupted flow of power 99.999% of the time, but, no one
really knows completely
how electricity on a works on a fundamental level. We all take it for granted, and I thought that was interesting.
