Smog will become a thing of the past.  Can't wait.  :cheers:

Read up on nickel and platinum mining as well as battery disposal if you think hybrid cars are really good for the environment. Its feel-good trickery that rearranges environmental damage rather than fixes it.

the other problem is people are too stupid to realise charging the battery just moves the carbon output from your car to a power station.

the 'magic pill' is actually imagining that instantly, we are going to have some new form of transport. nothing like that will suddenly happen. therefore, hybrids and EV's are a good thing as it's those sorts of steps that lead to whatever is the next thing. building those means manufacturers research more into how to make them more environmentally friendly (heavy metals etc) cheaper and even more efficient. i'm confident that EV's are the way forward. there's a small group who think compressed air vehicles are. i'm not so convinced, but one of the advantages of compressed air is that air polution will actually be reduced a little from filtering it when being compressed...

or we could just keep building 'cars' like the GM Suburban until we run out of fuel. and then panic...
