I personally think that hybrid technology is just too soon for our current technology. You have to pay so much extra to get an anemic car that doesn't get that much more MPG then a Yaris when driven normally. Electric cars mainly shift the source of the pollution to the power plants. (although I believe power plants are more efficient in miles traveled/carbon output then cars...) What is really needed is efficient electricity production from nonpolluting sources, and lightweight efficient batteries/super capacitors that will not pollute when disposed of. Until then hybrid and electric vehicles are just a stopgap measure, and we will continue to destroy the environment.
