Thats right, hybrids are a poor solution to conservation.
I don't care how many they sell, that only means there marketing worked. Hybrids are still a joke. Hybrids can't operate in extreme weather with out significant reductions in fuel cost.
Hybrids in Buffalo including the Prius is a major problem. The car can't warm up in 10 degree weather which taxes the gasoline engine and cracks the batteries. Same problem with Hybrids in Arizona. If you have to run your air all of the time the fuel savings die.
You can save more on fuel by buying small match box cars that get 45 per gallon with a pure carbon based engine then you ever can with a Hybrid.
In the end conservation is not a solution. Non carbon based fuels are a solution. Quit listening to marketing departments, Hybrids aren't Green they are Yellow.
Cars that operate on pure battery power or some other non carbon based fuel is Green.
