Screw cars with a big plate of batteries in them. That shit is worse for our environment than a regular 4-cylinder gas powered car. With all the pollution, money, and energy expended making the batteries, integrating them into the car, and then the fact that batteries are basically unable to be disposed of....these 'hybrids' are so much worse for us in the long run than a regular car. Go buy yourself a Honda Civic 5-spd and get excellent fuel economy without ruining the environment.
