Footprints and sparks

I recently came across an article on CNN about a new idea that would be beneficial in sooo many ways. Apparently, theres a pad thats placed on the sidewalks and as you step on it, the pad converts your footstep into energy, energy that could be used to charge a street lamp or maybe even oneday light an entire city. Just imagine if we turned the majority of the sidewalk into these pads, with a million people in any one city walking around on these, the possibilities are endless, but dont take my word for it, read the article and let your imagination run wild.
