    I propose my radical solution again:

    (the more corpulent amongst us may wish not to read further)

    Fatteries

    The inspiration for this comes from the following facts:

    1. Power requirements are overtaking power supplies in the developed world.

    2. Obesity is a rising problem in the developed world (while vast amounts of "developing countries" are starving, downtrodden and largely forgotten)

    Now as you will all no doubt remember from elementary physics enrgy of one variety can be converted into another variety. It is the purpose of a fattery to convert the chemical energy stored in the "Obese Westerner Fuel Pods" to electrical energy.

    It follows that there are two main ways of doing this:

    1. Converting the chemical energy to kinetic energy and thus powering a generator.

    2. Converting the chemical energy to thermal energy using this to drive a steam generator.

    A fattery is one of two things, it is either:

    1. A multistorey building with many floors of wall to wall treadmills.

    2. An incinerator.

    The "Obese Westerner Fuel Pods" will be presented with a choice of fatteries to attend, given sufficient levels of mobility.

    You heard it here 1st.
