Again, how could hybrids matter? The power comes from a regular combustion engine. It's just burning fossil fuels to propel the vehicle.

- ZeroGravitas 4y agoBecause they're more efficient?
- sidewndr46 4y agoSo what? Even if I cut my car's fossil fuel consumption in half, I'm still burning fossil fuels. Actually forget half. Let's cut it by 99%. I'm still burning fossil fuels. You still have a carbon footprint. "It's more efficient" is not good enough. It has to be zero or negative carbon production.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoSo you will accept nothing less than 0 carbon tech, right now, in a world where there's lots of inefficient uses of fossil fuels we could replace and save money? Seems a bit extremist. Also, ICE and hybrids can run on e-fuels. Not ideal as they still have local pollution and arent very efficient but entirely possible without adding fossil carbon to the system. EVs (and bikes and trains) are better though.
