We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Doctor Drivel"
saying something like:

If you flatten the battery and have no fuel, all it needs is a tow for 1/2
mile or so and the wheels turning will charge the battery, they you get
home.


Really? Creates energy does it?


Yep.


At 100% energy efficiency, enough to get you half a mile? So, you're
saying you only need to be towed *half* the way home...
