Thank  you for submitting your trend!

The idea behind "walking for energy" could revolutionise the global energy sector. Inventions similar include cycling and turning kinetic energy into useable electricity. There have also been ideas for smart cars to return or sell excess energy to the grid. The biggest hurdle facing such technologies are, unfortunately, cost effectiveness.

In some circumstances,the costs involved with changing existing infrastructure is prohibitive towards the adoption of such technology. Do  you think solar, wind or hydro energy could be an alternative?

I agree that solar , wind and hydro energy could be used as an supplementation to the floors. But more often than not when we are using natural resources such as solar , wind and hydro energy we are often not in control of the energy frequency that it will provide.For example solar panels could not be used at night, while building large hydro dams would increase certain areas of flooding and wind energy are often dictate by wind patterns. True to the fact that the cost involved in changing the preexisting  infrastructure might be great but as research continues we might find methods,material and technique in the implementation of such infrastructure.
