This is actually a costly way to generate electricity.  I once
estimated the cost of getting to work in different ways.  Walking
was one of the most expensive.  It takes about 110 calories to walk
a mile.  That is about one carton of yogurt, which is about $0.60.
Although sometimes we feel that our diets have a much higher cost per
calorie, one can just go out and buy one 3000 calorie box of bacon
for $2.00.  This works out to about $0.07 per mile, still kind of
high.  But, the EV costed more than either, per mile.
