Purchasers of hybrid vehicles, which are subsidized by the federal government and championed by environmental activists as a way to reduce gasoline consumption, are trading in their vehicles because of health fears concerning electromagnetic fields created by the hybrid batteries, says John Dale Dunn, a policy advisor for the American Council on Science and Health. Can it get stupider?

Can it get stupider? It usually does, doesn't it?

Batteries don’t create EM fields...
The generators and motors might, though.

Can it get stupider? I don't know but when I was walking past the local law offices of Shyster, Pillage and Robb, I heard someone chanting, "Grandma Toyota what deep pockets you have!!!"

“Can it get stupider?”
They are proving each day; it can.

Just to add my $0.02.....
Electromagnetic fields are created by alternating current (AC) like the 110 in your house, or more readily the radio frequency RF generated by radios, TV transmitters, radars, cell phones, etc. In fact, radio “waves” ARE electromagnetic fields.
Batteries produce direct current (DC) and do not give off electromagnetic fields. Maybe there is some EMF from the electric motors on these cars, but it would be negligible.
My background? 30 years as an electronics tech.
