I don't even know where to start.... Do you realize that the batteries used in hybrids are shipped around the world 3 times before they wind up in your Prius? Or that they are made with one of the most toxic materials around (nickel) extracted from a mine in Ontario that has killed of 30 sq. miles of vegetation?
I could go on, but I won't. Suffice it to say that posts like yours don't belong here. If you want to be environmentally responsible, buy a 25 year old Mercedes diesel and run it on veggie oil, don't buy an new car full of toxic waste.
And before you reply to me, you might want to take into account that I have actually been doing environmental work since I got a masters in environmental policy in 1991, way before yuppie fashion victims like you decided it was the cool bandwagon du jour.
