Check this out: Kinetic Pavement. Some really smart people at a company called Pavegen in London have invented a floor tile that converts footfalls into electricity. They even have a long-term goal to make the tiles as affordable as ordinary floor tiles. I'm thinking we should put these in our house and yard. Then when the power is off I can make Daniel run laps to make the lights work. He could invite his friends over for a backyard marathon so I could even run the fridge or the washing machine. It would be a great incentive. "Listen kid, if you want me to bake cookies, you gotta go run so I can use the oven."
He wouldn't like it at first. But in a decade, when he becomes a world famous marathoner, he will thank me. :)
