Duracell Smart Power Lab Collects Power

A new Duracell Smart Power Lab opened on November 23, 2009 and is free to the public in New York’s Time Square. The goal is to pedal enough to generate approximately 32,000 watt hours to power the ionic 2010 for 30 minutes during New Year’s Eve ball drop ceremony in NYC. "The countdown to New Year's has begun! Our partnership with the public to light up 2010 is a larger than life symbol of our commitment to do what we do best - delivering power when people need it most," said Craig Bida, Duracell Brand Manager.

I completely support this idea. I think that is really cool actually. Many people use energy to power their work out equipment but if they could work out and create power wouldn’t that benefit all of society? I think they should make Smart Power Labs all around the country. Even if they just use it as a free work out gym and Duracell capitalizes on all the energy collected it would be beneficial for society. I think it’s a cool idea.
