Well, a hybrid doesn't solve the problem. We don't need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we need to zero them out. You can't do that if you sometimes burn gas.

You know car emissions are like 15% total greenhouse gas emissions in the US right? And half that worldwide.

This is just the most visible source for a bunch of people who have made their conclusion unencumbered by the data.

The emissions from powering and heating your house are several times what your car emissions are.

So go solve that one and leave my Corolla alone.
