In twenty years we’ll be hearing about the crisis of dumping and disposal of chemical by-products from battery recycling plants.
*sigh*

Now there’s talk of making special parking spaces for Hybrids much like handicap parking spaces. Kind of counter intuative if you ask me....shouldn’t we polluters get a closer space so we don’t have to drive around the block several times looking for a space? Bahahahahaha.

Every time I see a Prius/Pius I start laughing, I can't ever get that South Park episode out of my head.
I always wonder if the owner knows what I'm laughing at, but somehow I think they know.

South Park already did an episode about the cloud of smug emanating from hybrid drivers.

Hey, I’m greener that she is...I haven’t bought a new car in 25 years...

With skyrocketing oil prices, many owners of hybrid vehicles and practitioners of the "green" lifestyle are seeing their eco-friendly choices pay off.Only in status among the mentally impaired.

I think only those that are envious or feel a little guilty, would coin a phrase like, ‘eco-snobbery’, everyone else would just ignore it.

For me it has been 11. My pick up truck run just fine. If the prices finally come down on these new tech vehicles I might buy one. Until then it would take years to make the cost worth it. Not gonna do it. Not.

My family car is a 2006 Dodge Charger RT. Modified with Airraid cold-air intake and Corsa catback exhaust. Rumbles. I guarantee I enjoy it a lot more than the 2 or 3 Prius owners in my neighborhood enjoy their car. It uses more gas, but in the words of VP Cheney, “so?”.

"There is a lot of interest in naturally grown food," observes Havasy. "But people do not seem to understand why it costs more." It costs more because it's less green. Price is one of the best indicators of how much energy was consumed, how much CO2 was emitted, in its production. Hippie farms could not feed 7 billion Earthlings without huge waste and environmental impact.

lets all be smug.....I just bought a gas guzzling SUV, and not only am I gonna burn every drop of gas you save, but I saved so much money on my SUV ( they were discounting them to unbelievable low prices ) that the price of gas will never eat up the savings I got at the dealer...sorry enviroweenie, but I win again ( and I can run you over at my leisure )

If I were her neighbor, I’d be inclined to go buy a ‘72 Ford pickup with no muffler and bad rings.
