Geez - I didn't mean to piss in anyone's cereal today - apologies if I rubbed you or others the wrong way...
At some point, the batteries cannot be recycled any further, and there are components of them which must be thrown out. Plus there is a carbon footprint associated with the whole recycle process.
My significant problems do not include the level of smugness hybrid folks have. And please note that I am all for NOT abusing our natural resources.
For me, the bottom line is this: automotive technology has always evolved. And until the 'next best thing,' hybrids seem to be the best solution in terms of efficiency and greeness. But that doesn't make them the end-all, though some people believe so.
