Eco Nightclub

Clubbing shouldn’t be considered a harmful act against the environment; unfortunately, the nightlife isn’t as green friendly as a Heineken bottle. At the same time, clubbers have always been liberal-minded and environmentally conscious, so what’s the solution to the electricity-draining lights and music of nightclubs?

This article points out a solution: In the UK, one nightclub owner has designed a hot spot wherein the electrical power of the club is generated by people on the dance floor. Using a wind turbine and solar energy system, the harder that people dance, the more power is pumped into the club through a mechanism built into the floor. While this may eliminate the prospect of solo dancing a la Saturday Night Fever, it means that dance-offs are going to have be that much harder. Serving has never been so righteous.
