Hybrids are worse for the environment than gas engines. It does help get us away from oil, but in the end, we need to find an alternative fuel source. Electricity in the United States primarily comes from burning fossil fuels.

Supply and demand has less effect on fuel prices than the actual market does. That should be eliminated.

I agree, to an extent.
I think you guys should take a look at this documentary with Michael Ruppert. It's called Collapse and it's available for rent on Amazon.
Amazon.com: Collapse: Michael Ruppert, Chris Smith, Kate Noble, N/A: Amazon Instant Video
I'm not saying to take everything in that film as truth, but just being aware of the things mentioned in that film is a good start. Do your own research.
