I never did like the Prius and at first I thought it was just because i was an anti-hybrid kind of guy. They are ugly, slow and expensive. Who cares if they can save an insignificant piece of the environment. It's not worth the cost in style etc... Turns out I was right. The Prius does suck and not just because its slow, ugly and expensive, it

Yeah well it is all about keeping up appearances. Mr. Inconvenient Politician's home consumes more fossil fuels in 1 month than the average family in a year.

you also forgot that a big reason to push hybrids and other fuel efficient vehicles is to lesson our dependancy on non-renewable fossil fuels. But why call that out when it doesn't support your theory, you great debater...

Actually the use of nickel batteries for the hybrids is also an un-renewable resource of which the production is more harmful to the environment than refining gasoline.

Had you read the full article i linked to as well as its supporting article you'd have noticed that ;)

if we want true renewable the way to go is hydrogen powered cars. Both honda and BMW have a cost effective viable solution already to go as soon as both the market and infristructure will support it.

All that is needed to make a hydro fueal plant is water and electricity and the only byproduct emission the car makes is pure water.

I'm also a supporter of the hydrogen powered vehicle. so there.
