A major con man indicted by the SEC. He creates these penny stock companies fleeces the investors and moves on.. the idea may be good but this guys must have stolen it from the real inventor

At the very least they could use it for all of their delivery trucks.

Don’t these people understand the laws of physics, this energy has to come from somewhere and in a car it comes from burning gas. The only place they could be logically placed is where there is already a speed bump installed. Then the cars are already being made less efficient so we might as well use that energy.

I wonder if the franchise is registering the irony of this. Yet, it’s better than doing nothing.

Solve the problem… don’t use band aids!!!!

If they are going to install these, they should also put something similar on all the seats inside the restaurant. The 300lbs customers could generate plenty of kinetic energy. Oh wait, they won’t fit in the chairs and will have to use their electric scooter to pickup their meal. At least we will have speed bumps to power the scooters.
