The batteries in a hybrid are HIGHLY toxic and can use more energy to recycle than a gas car uses over a significant portion of ITS LIFETIME. Hybrids are flawed technology.
7. Hybrids are sustaining technology. If electric cars disrupt transportation, internal combustion based products may lose resale value.
Uh.... whaaaaaat! I guess you are right, if nobody needs internal combustion engines in the future, they will lose resale value. Just like the steam engine and the horse and buggy. I think #7 should be removed.
