Are you a critic of
hybrids
cars?
What is your damn point? Are hybrid cars causing too
much pollution? Are hybrid cars causing an increase
in foreign oil dependency?
Are you worried that I'm spending too much on my
hybrid? It's O.K. to over spend on horsepower that I
can't legally use, but god forbid I spend extra
money to reduce foreign oil dependency or reduce
pollution?
Is that really your point?
Are there better technologies? Please, name one. The
potential of hybrid cars has barely been tapped.
Only in the short term can clean diesel, etc.
compete with hybrids. Even so, why not go for the
best fuel efficiency and least amount of pollution,
such as a clean diesel hybrid? Oh, I'm sorry, are
corporate profits more important than doing the
right thing?
Even hybrid critics, such as John McCormick of the
DetroitNews, states "Of course, most hybrids
will still offer lower overall fuel consumption
rates than conventional-vehicles and their tailpipe
emissions will be much lower. But the striking
appeal of their once high mpg figures will be
muted." (more)
Exactly, I'm investing in lower fuel consumption and
lower emissions. Have a problem with that?
So, you can sit in your foreign oil,
terrorist-supporting gas-guzzler and question my
investment in a hybrid car? No you can't. How can
you put a cost on reducing foreign oil dependency,
cleaning the environment and sending a message to
automakers that these issue drive my automobile
purchases? How dare you!?
If you don't like hybrids, don't buy one. Better
yet, buy a gas-guzzler and keep giving your money to
Osama and bury your head back in the sand.
