Sam is a "green" his ideas of a return to the past are for other people 
not for him. Like all ignorant greens he is an "idea man" and has no 
concept of science. I'm sure he has never considered that a human riding 
a bike (one you pedal) is a CO2 generator. Even worse after a dinner of 
beans they are also a methane generator which is a far worse greenhouse 
gas. But don't confuse Sam with facts.
