brainstorming new ideas for alternative energy sources ... treadmills for toddlers ( part ii )

this looks like the ideal site

i'm not completely happy with my previous visualizations for this project

the idea of remote creches where there is plenty of scope for fresh air and noise abatement is important

i once thought of franchising THE NATIONAL CRECHE in the Outer Hebrides but didn't take the idea further because every project needs a little more capital than i could access

maybe we can start up some pilot treadmill farms so that the kiddies can pay for the cost of their own daycare

i'm certain we can rent land off The National Grid adjacent to their existing power stations and distribution sub-stations

in fact the treadmills could be set up INSIDE the barbed wire ...
