I never said that a hybrid won't reduce pollution output -- I'm just tired of hybrid folks saying how "green" they are, when in fact there is indeed a carbon 'cost' associated with their car - especially when it comes to the manufacture and disposal of the battery packs. Tell me - what do they do with the spent batteries - the ones that cannot be recycled any further?
But I guess that doesn't matter - since that's someone ELSE's problem, and I can continue feeling smug knowing I'm doing my best to save the planet. Al Gore should be proud!
Just sayin'
