Default Energy generation (American style)

Millions of people ride their workout machines in the USA daily.

I was watching on TV how a man lit up 4 60 watt lightbulbs with full
power.

It turns out that an average adult can do this, and stronger people
can
keep a 300 watt generation rate for half an hour on these bikes.

An average american fittness club produces 100 kilowatts a day,
meaning 100 fittness clubs produce 10 megawatts of energy,
sufficient to power 9000 homes with electricity.
