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.
