for the energy crisis, if i had it my way, all prisoners would have to get on exercise bikes and pedal for so long everyday, hooked to a big generator, fueling energy to the US of A.
what are your creative solutions to the energy crisis or other crises we face in the US (or world) today?
edit: i don't think "genocide" is very creative.

If we euthanize the morons, starting with congress, I think we'll be alright.
I'm with you - kill everybody!
Harvest the horns of unicorns, which are the key to true fusion energy.
Use all the available fossil fuels as fast as possible. People won't change until Fossil fuels are more expensive than alternatives. I think that is a realistic progression rather than idealistic.
Also depends how you define "crisis"
Not prisoners, or at least not only prisoners. Put the fat kids on exercise bikes, solve energy problem and the obesity problem.
but we can't force fat kids to do that. prisoners owe something to society.
Soilent Green. Fuel and food.

Genocide, followed by forced birth control.
If 90% of the population of the earth were to disappear, we could very easily move to using all solar, hydroelectric, and other renewable energy for our energy needs. The biggest problem right now both economically and in terms of energy is that there are so many people who simply consume.
They aren't anywhere near any useful industry where economy could be created or even better where new energy could be generated, so a tiny number of people need to supply insanely huge amounts of resources to change an entire global society.
Most people don't like either idea, and think it goes against what basically makes humanity, so we're going to keep on living the way we are, far past the carrying capacity of the planet earth, until we run out of reserves and we're forced to realise how much we rely on such reserves.
Nuke it from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
