Hmmm... maybe you don't understand how a hybrid works.

Unless you decide to enroll in an engineering school like I did, I have forgotten more about hybrids than you will ever know.

A hybrid is a car with two energy sources, rather than only one source.

So when is the last time you plugged your hybrid into the wall?

I simply don't understand the threat you perceive in hybrids.

The threat I percieve isn't from hybrids it's from people who flaunt that they have them. As I've said half a dozen times before, a hybrid running off of shale oil will pollute far far more than a muscle car in the 60's. The ignorant hippies that flaunt that they have a hybrid, forget about shale, forget about China, and hate on anyone driving an SUV are far more dangerous to the environment than anyone driving a giant gas guzzling truck. Americans pick up hybrids or driving honda accords and SUV's won't effect the whole global warming problem. The carbon surplus is simply too large. If all we do is look at what we drive, then it won't make a bit of a difference.

Drive a hybrid, I don't care.
Drive a SUV, I don't care.
Drive a truck, I don't care.

Claim you are an environmentalist simply because you drive a hybrid and I will call you a fool that is a threat to mother nature. A fool that is playing into the hands of the oil companies.
