I thought the developement of these "battery packs" caused much more pollution than the non "hybrid" counterparts? And the disposal is a bitch too?

No thanks. I think the whole push for "green" when it comes to automobiles is

Yup heard this on top gear. A hybrid technically produces more pollution than a regular car due to this.

bingo. while the "green" battery hybrids cause less pollution in regards to exhaust fumes and usage of oil, the development and transportation of the batteries produces a larger carbon footprint. so really, the only upside to it is the US's dependency on foreign oil goes down. if you're purchasing a hybrid because you think you're going green, you are mistaken.

until engineers come up with a truly green car, i'll continue to burn the gas and have some fun
