You may not Question Global Warming. All who do shall be burned at the steak. (oops that would be bad, all that nasty water vapor release into the atmosphere) On second thought, You SHALL be buried under a peat bog so that all of your carbon is sequestered for all time!
Seriously, if all of the eco nuts would actually think before they bought a "Green" Prius or Volts, instead of buying a new vehicle repair and reuse. I do my part for the environment by wearing out my vehicles. I only replaced my previous vehicle after it was totaled by a driver crossing the center line. I had 441,206 miles on it. My current vehicle has 306,195 miles on the odometer. Based on the literature for the Prius, I would have needed to replace the battery pack 3 times for the first car and twice for the second car. And Lithium is a toxic material. So that would be about 5 x $3,000.00 without installation. My current car is 21 years old, the previous was 16. I have never fallen into the gotta get the "new" model year.
