World's 'first eco nightclub' to open

ITN - 2 hours 45 minutes ago

The "world's first eco nightclub" is due to open later in London with a high-tech danceflooor that generates electricity when danced on.

Surya - Sanskrit for Sun God - which admits cyclists and walkers for free, is the brainchild of property developer Andrew Charalambous, aka Dr Earth, who has invested £1 million of his own cash.

The club in Pentonville Road, Islington, north London, has its own wind turbine and solar energy system and there are plans to donate any surplus electricity to local residents....

It would be great if this were serious... It seems so simple, why not use people to produce energy? All clubs, and gyms, and schools, and dance studios should be like this. I support People Power.
