![]() Mass'Debator Posts: 4,724 | Some cities pushing back against drive-thrus ![]() An employee hands a drive-thru order to a McDonald's customer on Oct. 15, 2007. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green) CTV.ca | Some cities pushing back against drive-thrus Quote:
For those who don't like pollution, there's a lot going on in this topic. About the elderly using the dirve thrus.... if they can get off their asses and walk to the car to drive it, then I am sure they can get off their asses and walk inside to get their food. For pregnant women.... should they even be eating at fast food resturants to begin with? | |

Or even better if they had full hybrid drive systems capable of the line crawl with combustion engine off. We have the technology to add these to the roads. If were going to regulate something, force companies to raise standards so they have to offer cars with the technology. What do you say to an atheist who sneezes? Yourdeadthatsit! - Dane Cook |

![]() BANNED Location: Ohio Province, Rep. of Comerica Posts: 7,320 | The bit I don't get is about pollution. I was under the impression ( from government information ) that the internal combustion engine produces the bulk of it's emmissions upon start up. After the catalitic converter warms up, the emmissions are filtered. So, how is requiring the driver to start this engine many times in one trip going to reduce pollution? |

Starting up the car uses 10 seconds worth of idle wasted fuel. Idle itself is wasteful because it is wasting fuel with no gain other than powering the comfort controls inside the car. What do you say to an atheist who sneezes? Yourdeadthatsit! - Dane Cook | |

| Hucking Fuskies Location: Conn Posts: 2,283 | Correct that: REQUIRE companies to increase standards. Of course you can always add in an extra tax on consumers who still want to run a wasteful car. An extra yearly operating tax would do nicely for all the people without kids who drive a hummer in LA just for fun. What do you say to an atheist who sneezes? Yourdeadthatsit! - Dane Cook |

If you Canadians so concerned about pollution then why do you allow cars to sit at stop signs and traffic lights with their engines running? How is going through a drive-thru at Mickey D's or Booger King or Timmy Ho's different from going through the drive-thru at a bank or going to the drive-up ATM or sitting at a traffic light or stop sign? Is there something particularly harmful about pollution that occurs in a fast food drive-thru that isn't present in other drive-thrus or cars otherwise running while at a stop?

| Principled Observer Location: Toledo, Ohio Posts: 13,873 | If this is such a problem, why not install a moving conveyor track in every drive-thru, like a carwash? This would also solve the problem of boneheads sitting and going through their order before they leave the window, and from people who refuse to pull out of the way until their order is ready, as the person inside could control the track conveyor. Hell they could even create a "central renewable power source" on top of their building, using the heat from the food grills to drive fans to make power, coupled with wind energy.

So because some have use for an SUV we should have no regulation? Let Detroit put out 8mpg Super Excursion landships then just trust consumer intelligence to only buy it if they absolutely need it? I think not. Quote:
This isn't about helicopters, it's about cars and trucks which currently mostly use the same fuel source. Working class bears the burden in gas prices If you allow the wealthy to just burn gas as they please the demand raises the price to the point where the lesser members of society cannot afford it any longer. I'm guessing you say well thats the lower earners fault. Personally I'm glad we live in a democracy where voting can change and add new laws and protect them from grumpy men like you.
