Some of the plans on this page may seem a little cruel, or a little too fanciful, or a little discriminatory, but I don't intend to implement any of these plans, so its all good. :)
My plan for this is not so much energy saving, but greener energy production. The UK's prisons are jampacked, with an estimated 139 prisoners for every 100, 000 people of the UK as of 2005. Thats about 85, 207 people in prison. Just sitting there, eating food, and doing nothing. Oil is running out, coal is not far behind, climate change dictates the need for greener energies, and I've hit upon it. A massive hamster wheel, hooked up to a generator, the prisoners must run in this hamster wheel, thus generating electricity. The sentence should reflect not only the crime, but also the fitness of the convict. For example, an unfit man may be sentenced to provide 5 gigawatts, but a fit man could accomplish this easier, therefore it should be elevated up to 8 or 10 gigawatts.
And of course, if the prisoners refuse to run, we throw them into a bear pit! :)
Big Brother seems to be quite popular, for some reason I can't quite fathom. It's basically famous people shouting at each other. I'm not sure why it's classed as entertainment, but apparently it is. Politicians are well known for being liars and untrustworthy, and as the latest scandals have shown, quite good at spending taxpayers money on duck ponds.
What do these have in common you ask? At the moment, nothing. Once I rule the world? Everything.
MP's are getting out of line, they're breaking as many rules as possible and burying the evidence. Also, there's the issue of not enough people voting, but I have a fix for this.
Would the MP's dare step out of line if the public controlled their lives with the red button? We merge Big Brother, The House Of Commons, and a bear pit. You vote for whichever MP you think performed poorest, and at the end we collect all the votes together - whoever has most votes for them is thrown into the bear pit. It provides the entertainment Big Brother does, combined with the entertainment of ancient Rome, and it keeps the MP's in line, or at least much stealthier out of line. And, what's more, we could have a balance system, so the votes the MP recieved in the elections count towards nullifying the 'bear pit' votes. So if Bob McFail gets 100 votes in the elections, but only 99 people vote him to be bear pitted, then he stays in The House. If 101 people voted him to be bear pitted, he gets bear pitted. It's not cumulative, so each time people vote for bear pits Bob would need at least 101 votes, and at every general election his slate is wiped clean. This will hopefully make people vote more, after all - your favourite MP's life is on the line at every general election.
