So let me get this straight

So this is why Toyota cant make enough Prius's to meet the demand right? Because theres no such thing as alternative energy.

Thats right, hybrids are a poor solution to conservation.

I don't care how many they sell, that only means there marketing worked. Hybrids are still a joke. Hybrids can't operate in extreme weather with out significant reductions in fuel cost.

Hybrids in Buffalo including the Prius is a major problem. The car can't warm up in 10 degree weather which taxes the gasoline engine and cracks the batteries. Same problem with Hybrids in Arizona. If you have to run your air all of the time the fuel savings die.

You can save more on fuel by buying small match box cars that get 45 per gallon with a pure carbon based engine then you ever can with a Hybrid.

In the end conservation is not a solution. Non carbon based fuels are a solution. Quit listening to marketing departments, Hybrids aren't Green they are Yellow.

Cars that operate on pure battery power or some other non carbon based fuel is Green.

Christ Vllad, do you have alztimers or demensia? I would think someone involved with shipping industry would have a better understanding of this shit.

Does the majority of the world live in Buffalo? No. Do they even live in regions that get snow? NO, they live in cities, so the overall energy savings of a hybrid cars and trucks is ENORMOUS. You know that UPS is starting to buy large hybrid trucks that save 50% fuel?

You are completely wrong about a pure battery car being more green than a hybrid. Besides having bigger toxic batteries, how do you think a battery gets charged? 75% of the electricy is generated with fossil fuels. Whereas a hybrid using wasted inertial energy, completely carbon free.

Yes, lets just waste energy with braking instead of harnessing that wasted energy in city driving and doubling our milage. Like I said, there is no magic bullet energy replacement for fossil fuels. Your expectations are frankly insane. Hydrogen is already accepted as the replacement for gasoline, but ways of harvesting it need improvement. (ie...excessive solar/wind/fusion energy to power electrolysis on sea water)
