A former co-worker had a Toyota Prius, last year she was driving it up to Maine and the thing caught on fire, luckily everyone got out of the car, but the sucker went up into a giant ball of flames, nothing was left, it was just a piece of charcoal in the road. She recorded it all on her cell phone.
For whatever “green house gases, carbon or whatever” she was reducing was put back just by having the stupid thing burst into flames. It was only a couple years old, it polluted more then my aging Dodge pick up truck with a v8 engine did since it was made.
And the pollution the burning Prius created was likely highly toxic (ie a real pollutant) as opposed to the life-giving CO2 that the commies try to tell is pollution.
