<rant, you've been warned>

This thing where gov'ts are giving credit for a car because it is a hybrid is bothersome to me. If I were to buy an Escalade hybrid, I could get a tax break. Instead, I buy a car that offsets THREE of those behemoths and get...ziltch. It is further amazing as the programs seem to think that the not so small environmental impacts of those battery...um...batteries (I don't think Pack really invokes the correct image) are negligible.
It seems more about political correctness and LOOKING like they are doing something than actually promoting energy saving technologies, like more efficient versions of existing petrol and diesel engines.
