Honda Car Forum

The current edition of "Car and Driver" (magazine) has an
interesting article about the dark side of the hybrids on page 26.
The date on the cover is September 2005.

If you own a hybrid vehicle or plan to buy a hybrid vehicle,
I advise you to buy a copy of the magazine and read the article.

See his FIRST post in alt.autos.honda (Jul 29 or 30, I think) and then all
the responses about the well executed recycling that IS being done on
electric/hybrid batteries!

Could also read it at the library or maybe even online.

I would stay away from hybrids. Saw one die in the middle of traffic -
no power and creating massive backups. The industry will eventually go
to hydrogen systems, but never electric.

That happens to internal combustions engines as well, just in case you
haven't noticed.

Can't stand Yates. Arrogant, pompous twit. YMMV.

And as an aside, it was Tom Friedman, not Fareed Zakaria.
