Comments on: Drive-Thru Sustainability http://gas2.org/2009/08/14/drive-thru-sustainability/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Older people, the sick and young working families are just some of the groups that benefit tremendously by the drive-thru opportunity. Think of the young,working mother on the way home from work. She picks up her child at the day care and on the way home can get milk, medicine for the sick husband at home and the cleaning without having to use much extra fuel or remove the children from the car everytime she stops. This is an incredible convenience that cannot be underestimated. Autos and drive throughs are valuable in the society where I live so for me the answer is to find the auto that will answer the need of the consumer and the environment.

I have often wondered at my own complicity in the silliness of the world (not to mention the lack of sustainability) when I utilize the various drive-thru options available to me. However, when you actually consider the matter, drive-thru has existed since the days of the horse and buggy, at least in the U.S. and Canada. Old photos show drive-thru water stops, drive-thru lines to pick up block ice and groceries, and, of course, drive-thru delivery of grain to the grain elevator and so on. Horses and mules weren't burning hydrocarbons, but they were burning solar energy in the form of grain and grass. So, an early form of sustainability? Drive-thru may have a bad name, but in the brave new world of electric vehicles it may turn into a positive. Think of the possibilities! If you can bank, pick up your chemical free cleaning, pick up generic and hopefully way cheaper drugs and, of course, get seriously good food all without burning a molecule (except the NG used to generate the electricity, or maybe wind) then drive-thru may be okay. If you have to wait very long then maybe you can get a charge while you're waiting. Of course, in the end, I prefer delivery-via an electric vehicle you understand. Really, really great post.

Whoever solves these issues in whatever green market will be the "big winner." I've been closely following the Chevy Volt and hope that GM can get the price down quickly, so that it can be successful. Keep up the good work!
