interesting idea. it could really be brought to life in the near future, but more information on the project is still required, i.e. the amount of energy generated daily or in an hour, the measurements of the parking space.

STEVE, I completely agree with you... although I don't think that all the students consume EDs only because they "study at night".. I think most of them just have to party all night and then they have to be in good shape for the classes... However, I'm sure many students try to combine partying and studying, so that they don't fall out with the lectures and still get some private life during the golden college years.
I drink EDs, but very very and extremely seldom, only when I really need to wake up... and I need this especially after lunch, you know, when the food hits you like a hammer, and you just need to get a nap :)
stay in shape, people!

I've never drank an energy drink and hope never will. It has been known for a while that these drinks are not really healthy, but at least people feel pretty much in shape after consuming them. However, I don't think that some students have an alternative for energy drinks, they have to study a lot and that's why they have to spend nights studying without falling asleep. So, these drinks are unhealthy but they still help people, at least scientists who warn about the impact of energy drinks on health have to find some alternatives, until then people will continue consuming these drinks.
