More evidence of the hipocracy of AlGore and the rest of the green nuts.

What degree does Chris Demorro hold? Oh right, absolutely no scientific background whatsoever. Perhaps one of the only truths on his article is that at current gas prices it will take 60 months to offset the premium cost of a hybrid. However with gas prices growing and far more expensive in some localities than others that time span is significantly shrinking.

Will our resident deniars ever get over they can't win fighting against facts?

I really don't understand this whole fight against Global warming and being environmentally responsible.

Why are some people so determined to try and prove you don't have to respect the environment, you don't have to recycle, and the environment isn't changing? It seems like partisanship to me. They are against it merely because the left is for it.

Because Al Gore is an engineer for Toyota?

Or what? How exactly is the performance of a Prius Al Gore's doing?
Did he invent the Prius, too?

Couldn't have asked it better myself. I've no idea what these guys are thinking.

thanks for posting this opinion by a staff writer at the Central Connecticut State University Recorder.

check it out, Chris Demorro owns an antique muscle car, and he criticizes others for attempting to cut down on foreign oil.

here's a Prius that has lasted more than 100K. (mine has too).

check out this side by side comparison:

does it make any sense, given the ratings in this chart, that an unreliable car like the hummer is going to last longer than a prius? have not seen any evidence that it will, save the opinion of the staff writer from the Central Connecticut State University Recorder.

does it make any sense that toyota is to blame for an entire nickel plant? toyota purchases a tiny percentage of metal from them. the plant produces 109,000 tons of nickel a year, and toyota purchases 1,000 tons of nickel per year. my guess is that we will not see the State University guy criticizing those whom use other kinds of nickel batteries.

according to this page, the company started working to clean up emissions almost 20 years ago. it doesn't make any sense to blame Toyota for trees that died before that.

here is more info about the company's efforts.

an average car produced by any manufacturer has about 50 lbs of nickel throughout. the prius battery has about 22 lbs of nickel. I have not seen any evidence that a smaller prius has more nickel than a larger hummer.

the CNW Marketing study relies on the life of the prius being 109,000 miles. but where did they get this number? the cars are lasting longer than that.

here's the kicker. according to the CNW study the prius costs ($3.29 * 109,000 =) $358,610 to manufacture and operate. this makes absolutely no sense. could anyone afford it if it were true?

the CNW study is obviously the smear work of someone working for GM.

sorry, in actual fact, it's evidence of your intellectual laziness, lack of curiousity, and gullibility.

wow, niftydrifty, thanks for that informative post and getting all that information. That whole article was a joke and an obvious attempt to discredit Toyota.
