Hybrids, there carbon footprint is massive, due to the complexities of making the batteries, simple as that, so where you will be putting out less when running, you got massive carbon overheads from manufacture.

To be honest, electricity isn't the answer, another 'clean' fuel is the way to go, so when you run out, you can get filled up, you don't need to leave the car on charge (love to see the lipo charge sack for that bugger!), etc, plus, with electric cars, the electricity still has to be produced, and unless it is coming from, either solar or wind, you still got carbon overheads.

The only thing I do agree with, is looking for another source of fuel, not electric.

Lee, is it true, most wells don't get even half empty before they are capped?
