Next, someone will come up with an idea to attach horses to the front of our cars to help pull them.

Or, or, or, fund the government with tariffs, import taxes, instead of on the backs of the people. I remember when the US used to do that. Good times, good times.

Next thing you know they’ll put a large post sort of contraption on the ship with poles attached to it then with some sort of fabric material to ‘harness wind power’. That would be really revolutionary….

Almost a good idea, but the horse farts would increase your carbon footprint and nullify any savings. (insert liberal logic)

Ooooh. Good idea. There could be a simple crankshaft and the legs could be used as the "compression stroke". Alternating a push from left side to right side, would turn the crank and propel the vehicle.

You're going to need a name:

Maybe...

Leg-cycle
Pump-peller
Roll-walker
