Bottom line is that while we all love hybrid and electric vehicles for what they can do to reduce our use of oil, don’t be the same self-righteous bigot you claim the “corporate establishment right” to be. We can all be bigger than this small, infantile and pious zealot seen in this video".

THIS POST IS DEAD NUTS ON.

Same with these "zero emmisions" electric vehicles. No one wants to think about the coal fired power plants that are used to generate the electricity to power those vehicles. Those are just about the nastiest emmiters of pollutants on the planet. Dropping mercury and all other kinds of shit in our water sources.
