Power to the People

Several thousand were sent by kids on vacation. While more than one correspondent sent their own harebrained plans for making peace, Ron Solomon from Haifa sent an out-of-the-box plan to improve sustainable energy production in Israel.

The kid would require inmates at penal institutions to ride exercise bikes connected to the electric grid. Strange and unusual punishment or a healthy win-win solution? The unflappablethird-grader added that his plan was not limited to those serving time; individuals convicted of minor offences could get off easy with the option of returning their small debt to society by peddling away their time rather than paying a fine.
