Chipotle To Install Solar Panels On 75 Stores

Good.

Bravo! This is eco-excellent~!

thank the lord for solar energy panels!!!!

Damn, this article made me want to go to Chipotle again. They already have all of my money.

All I can think about is south park lol

PLEASE mean this makes more Chipotle's around the country. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Most excellent! And great marketing move...

Will their restrooms be eco-friendly too?
Because thats where most people spend some time after eating there.

Awesome!! I like the way they do business. They seem to be a socially responsible corporation.

As someone who installs and consults on renewable energy systems, I can say with 100% certainty that solar is often times much more cost-effective and efficient than wind simply due to the fact that unless you're in a region that has the necessary sustained wind speeds needed to make wind turbines worth the cost and effort (~10-12mph depending on the size and type of turbine), solar is going to give you a faster payback and more overall energy production in the long run as long as weather conditions are not routinely poor for optimal solar generation.

However; in regions like the south and mid-west where wind speeds are fairly consistent and strong, wind would be the better option.

Chipotle actually has a store in Illinois that has an onsite wind turbine that helps power the store. Check it out

Solar's cool and all but that would only work in the south west and other places with comparable amounts of sunlight.(i.e. a dessert) I think wind is slightly better for the long run(personnaly) but you can't put wind turbines on top of stores. This is definately a win overall. Consdiering they sell burritos that are delicious as well, I now love chipotle.

Way to go! Fresh food naturally. They stand by that and sun naturally produces.
I have always understood how long ago humans worshiped the sun, it feels so good when you're cold. It brings the tiny plants out from under the ground. It brightens our lives in so many ways.
Sun, sun, Mr. Golden Sun
Please shine down on, won't you shine down on me....
Good News!
