Quote:

I saw the owner of the biggest taxi fleet around here on TV the other day talking about their new cars. They had switched entirely to hybrids. The interviewer was talking as if they had switched to antimatter reactors while the taxi owner sounded as if it were a complete no brainer and couldn't believe the other fella thought it was news. His final comment was, "I do this to make money and I make a lot more money with hybrids."



I wonder how much of the electricity used by these hybrid cars was produced by burning coal. And, as mentioned previously, what about the batteries? Are we going to ship them third world countries like we do with electronic waste? Being environmentally friendly is more than simply buying into 'oil is evil'!
