Why do people think that JUST BECAUSE a car uses some form of propulsion other than gasoline that it is environmentally friendly? Sure, it's different, but it came from somewhere, and surely it has some sort of consequences as well. It's just like recycling. There is a lot of energy spent and pollution created by the recycling industry. But hey, we are saving the planet!!!

Thanks Bart, I happen to work in the Nuclear Power industry, I am actually an instructor right now in Charleston at the Naval Nuclear Power School. The average greenie is an idiot and doesn't understand that a plug in car is far worse than a combustion driven vehicle. Conservation of energy is a bitch. Power has to come from somewhere no matter what. Coal power plants belch more gasses and produce more toxic sludge than 10 times the number of equivalent nuclear plants. Maybe once all the new nuke plants come online, a plug-in may be effective for "round the town" driving, but until our country shrinks in size, big vehicles with the ability to haul the family and the boat will still be a necessity.
The cost of a hybrid is also prohibitive, pretty sure the average mechanic isn't certified to work on your hybrid, only some guy who went to some special school for 6 months, so no more mom and pop shops.
Find me a hydrogen powered vehicle and then sign me up
