    it reduces the amount of emissions released into the atmosphere. but it’s still a problem as we would still be putting emissions into air, only less. No emissions is the goal we want to reach, at least this a step in that direction.

  2. They do a lot of good. They are not polluting the air with carbon dioxide and other toxins. They do not warm the earth as much, and most importantly they use different fuel.

  3. Abosolutely because most emissions are generated when a car id in stop and go traffic. That is the engines most in effecient time. That is where a hybrid shines because it runs strictly on batteries in those situations. So for the future of this earth I say yes. Also newer technologies will not be resaerched unless people arer buying existing technology.

  4. I’m not sure – but did you know that most golf ball have between 300 and 450 dimples?

  5. Some good comes from the lack of emissions, but the long term stuff is still unknown. When the large batteries need to be changed out, there will be the waste from those. Different kinds of batteries have different issues, Lead/Acid, Lithium ion, and so on.

  6. The present implementation of hybrid technology does relatively little to ease CO2 emissions or reduce fuel use. They consist of about 1.25% of the US market.
    Most fuel use is NOT from small vehicles (i.e. Prius, Insight), but from trucks (SUVs, vans, etc). Those who buy hybrids would not buy a large vehicle anyway!
    Thus, hybrids COULD help, but only if they address where gas is REALLY used and where emissions REALLY come from: large vehicles, not small vehicles.
    If you are considering a vehicle: skip the hybrid label and just buy the vehicle that get the best mileage!

  7. buying a car that produces 99% fewer emissions than its standard counterparts is definitely better.

    gas mileage is nice too, but as far as the environment goes emissions is the key.
