If you think that's a problem, consider this. How much energy do they need
to produce to _feed_ all of those people? How much energy are those people
capable of producing? Where do they get all the extra energy required to keep
up with food production for their power-hungry "batteries"? Humans cannot
produce more energy than their intake, so they would actually cause a _loss_ of
power when used as batteries. Of course,t hat would pretty much blow the entire
purpose of doing the movie...
