This whole hybrid thing is so much political correctness just like trading carbon credits.
Look ahead 10 years. Its a sweltering hot day in August.
Due to use of electricity in the hybrids, there is not enough electricity for air conditioning. Newborns and the elderly are dying. The green people(Democrat Socialists) start ranting that this can not go on and that all automobiles must switch back to gasoline only.
Unintended consequences. Like moving from paper to plastic to save the trees. No thought whatsoever to all the plastic that now sits in our land fills.
When plastics came along, it caused fires at the incineration plants.
It's one of the reasons I still believe in septic systems...nature's way!!
