We could talk about how it would take you years to break even on the premium you pay for a hybrid with the savings in gas.. we could talk about how the cars will be worthless once the batterys go bad given the current cost to replace them. (who will want to buy a hybrid with 100k+ miles on it??)
We could discuss the problems of a world full of hybrids and what landfill will be filled with the dead batteries..
Or we could discuss how they really don't pollute less than say a regular Honda Civic. the constant start stop cycle of the hypids IC engine hurts it in this regard.
Hydrogen is where it's at baby! -- of course there is the problem of a city full of hydrogen cars putting out water vapor and thus causing humidity changes..
but that's another topic..  |
One thing I do know about, is batteries cannot go in a landfill. All batteries can be recycled,
.
I've always heard it takes more energy to create hydrogen, then what we then get out of it.
