The world's fuel crisis: solved.

I have it!
Fossil fuels heat up the planet. Nuclear energy is too dangerous. Wind farms - they seem to be a good idea but who wants one next door?
The solution?
Well, move over electricty and make way for ECCENTRICITY!
Eccentrics spend a lot of time on harebrained, unnnecessry activities and schemes which require huge amounts of energy. Ah! but if we could only harness that energy.
The British Isles would surely become a net exporter of eccentricty with people like Boris Johnson, John McCririck and Ivor Cutler connected to the national grid.
Caution must be exercised, of course.
Ivor Cutler and his like (i.e. genuinely talented yet eccentric individuals) should be used sparingly, perhaps only on Christmas Day when demand is high due to the energy needed to boil a billion sprouts and power the nation's televions for the "Two Ronnies" repeats. Boris and John McC could remain plugged in permanently, which would enable them to function as "normal" human beings while syphoning of the excess energy. This would also have the side effect of reducing the number of embarassing gaffs and modifying poor dress sense.

I will put this idea to Her Majesty's Government.
