If done right , not the worst idea out there.

Highly unlikely that something like that can be done right.

Funny idea, though our clever homeless miners would argue, that the human body is a very inefficient "engine" regarding thermodynamics. Letting them pedal for money and food would drain more energy then they could provide from their earnings. Even more nonsense by Black mirrors where people pedal for entertainment on screen. But this is not the acctual point the episode.

Totally forseen by Black Mirror. Maybe Trump will Copulate with a pig if the polls say he should to keep his ratings up. 🐖🐷

hahah, another classic Black Mirror episode

Honestly, anything that can give the homeless some dignity and a shot at a respectable income should be lauded. It's too easy to get caught in the cycle of homelessness with no way out. An opportunity to work should be something to look toward.

Brilliant idea,,,, i want to try it,,,, hehehe
Hv a nice day,,, :)

There probably wouldn't be enough energy generated to make it worth paying them any significant amount.

Fun fact. Whatever you planning to do with green energy Germany already did it. Nobody would ever claim that we have not the best engeneers in the world. So we planted our country full with 10,000s windmills from the top to the bottom, heavily subsidiced solar power and even forced citicens by law to place them on their roofs, we subsidiced "bio fuel" and "bio gas" power plants and now guess how much of our coal power plants we were able to shut down after 10 years doing that? Zero ... After the whole country put all its money and energy into it we were able to shut down zero coal power plants and emmit even more CO2 then before. So whats the outcome? Our energy bills more then doubled and our country looks like shit with a windmills everywhere.

I love Black Mirror. I think there are lot of better things homeless people could do to help their communities.
