Yeah, exactly. The only place it could be viable would be a gym, as the gym isn't paying for the food, and they have a ton of bikes/ellipticals running all the time. However, the system to put that energy back on the grid would almost certainly be too expensive to pay itself off in a reasonable amount of time.
