Yeah, if you want to drive a Hybrid to save money at the pump or to try to reduce dependency on foreign oil, then you kind of have a case. But if you do it because you think it's better for the environment, you're a f'ing stooge. The plug-ins are a horrible idea, as electrical generation is only around 70% efficient w/ all the transmission and conversion losses. And regardless of how it gets the electrical charge, a battery is TERRIBLE for the environment. Production, recycling, and eventual disposal - filthy, filthy stuff.

But hey, hug a tree and drive a Prius if it helps you sleep at night.
 
...I am told that you have to replace the batteries every 7 to 10 years..

X2, If they wanted to do something good for the environment...ride a bicycle!

I was getting out of my duster at the grocery store one day when a prius pulled up in the parking spot next to me... as the folks were getting out I thanked them for saving some gas so that I could burn more. :bootysha: The driver glared at me while the passenger of said prius gave out a good laugh and said "Nice car", the driver then glared at him... :toothy10:
 
Looks like a lot of dirt coming out of those smokestacks.
 
the grid can't even handle peoples air conditioners...how they gonna supply power for millions of cars plugged in?
