Prius Outdoes Hummer in Environmental Damage

Admittedly this is an opinion piece written by sombody at a college newspaper, but I'd assume somebody checked his facts. The text of the article is at the link above, and provides ammunition for my "Hybrid Hype-othesis", which is that Hybrid cars aren't any better than conventional ones... Toyota's publicity machine would have you believe that hybrid cars are making the world cleaner and greener by emitting only rainbows from their tailpipes. As if. Mainstream media here in the US needs to stop drinking Toyota's corporate cool-aid and WAKE UP to the fact that Toyota builds fossil-fuel buring vehicles (including full-size, 8-cylinder powered trucks, SUVs, and large sedans) just like other automakers from all over the globe. Enjoy the article!
