Burger King wants to go green

Burger King was a favourite until very recently – this morning when I read about their disgusting ad in Spain disrespecting Hindu Goddess Lakshmi on a burger saying – a snack that is sacred! So imagine what the thought process would be when they say they want to go green? A Burger King franchise in New York announced that it wants in on the green movement by installing a speed bump designed to harness the kinetic energy produced by the hundreds of cars that pass through the drive-thru daily.

When customers roll through a section of the drive-thru lane lined with metal plates that move down and up as cars head to the next window. The MotionPower technology developed by Burtonsville, Md.-based New Energy Technologies, could harness and capture the energy twice daily. So they are doing something for the society, good for them – but that will not make me a fan anymore.
