ducati asked:
Most of the answers seem to say that driving a hybrid reduces my carbon footprint. Question is, what about the to charging the battery? Electricity isn’t carbon free. I’m also told the batteries aren’t recyclable and need to be replaced every few years. Any thoughts on that?

star_geezer asked:
An internal combustion engine runs more efficiently at constant speed. If it was run to charge the batteries when needed, via a generator, it seems to me it would be much more efficient than today’s dual mode hybrids. This is essentially what diesel-electric locomotives do, and they get much better “gas mileage” than cars.

a.s asked:
Does it take more energy to create a hybrid car than is saved? I have heard that the energy it takes to manufacture the batteries and ship them from the places of assembly is more than the energy saved. I would be driving about 65 miles a day and want to know if I would be helping or hurting the environment with a Honda Fit Hybrid which comes out in 2009.What I really want is a Jeta diesel but I do not have 23-24 thousand dollars. Thanks

j g asked:
I am curious to know how much nickel is mined for the average hybrid car battery? I’ve heard hybrids toted as the solution, but nickel is a finite resource which must be mined. As I understand it the batteries are extremely heavy composed of mostly nickel.
