  1. it's 800k.
  2. It's not environmentally friendly in any real stretch. No gas-powered combustion engines are. They're just more or less harmful.
  3. It's not about the environment, it's about how one can save money on gas or electric.

It's environmentally friendly by harming the environment less. Also has less CO2 emissions I believe, which does help the environment. There's the whole thing about battery production/transport etc, but I was just trying to show the other guy that hybrids can be performance oriented and stylish too.

Considering that even at worst, human industry produces less than 10% of the sum total of greenhouse gas emission, I think the whole eco friendly car scene is a crock.

I want hybrids/electrics to see if they can improve upon combustion's performance and/or value. I have no other interest.

Even electric cars are powered by coal, since that's what generates most electricity.

Totally agree with you on that. I want to have a career in the energy industry to help develop technologies for renewable energy use for electricity.

I think a gas turbine engine has good potential if we can get over the engineering difficulties that come with them. Jaguar had it in one of their new concepts but I'm not sure if it was actually functional and running or not.
