I 100% agree with you, except I do BELIEVE hybrids are less polluting than both options. Reduce gas by 90% since most communites are around 25 miles. That means a battery that’s 1/10th size, which means mining is substantially lower. Toxic metals also need to be considered and often are not.
The problem I think other people forget is that we don’t actually need to end fossil fuels we just need to substantially reduce the amount we burn. So if vehicles were 90% more efficient then that’s basically all we need in that sector anyway.
Great comment Bruce! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking like you.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoI know other people see this too, but what really puzzles me is the market. Automakers seem to only want to produce: - Full ICE vehicles or "budget" mild hybrids - Heavy, luxurious, expensive full electric vehicles. Its as if a tiny gas generator in the car would "taint" it, but hauling all that battery and luxury junk around does far more harm.
