I agree with the previous poster regarding exercise gyms, etc. In fact, I had proposed this idea formally (scalable to accommodate larger membership and network capacity) in a “disruptive innovation” business plan for generating not only in-house power needs, but also surplus (feed-in tariff type) energy to earn energy credits or monetary equivalents (or even establishing an alternative unit of exchange). The idea was rejected.

If anyone would like to discuss this idea, or my business plan, contact me through this site or planetsave.com

The power mentioned for a refrigerator is too high by about an order of magnitude. I have a Kill-A-Watt meter and I’ve measured all my appliances. Maybe, a very large fridge could run 700 W when it is actually chilling, but most of the time it is idle. So the average power consumption of a fridge is far less that 100 W.
