Loser Hybrids!

I can see a bumper sticker ideal coming out soon.

"My Hummer Loves Earth More Than Prius. Ask Me How."

that's a bleeding-good idea.


The CNW paper is something that got a brief bit of press, and then largely subdued. Nice to see it pop up in something recent.

It does go to show that there is alot more to think about that EPA ratings, and it shouldn't surprise anybody that the hybrids do poorly when all is considered (you gotta ditch those batteries someday. someday libs will spaz over all the batteries and what to do with them. someday libs will be pro-nuke power after deriding it in the past, and someday people will just realize that the earth isn't going to global-warm into extinction, but anyway).

But don't post this anywhere near a jeep forum, as the Wrangler is like the most energy efficient vehicle of all.

And remember, even if this study was scrutinized to its core, broken down into overall Co2 production, overall oil use, and everything else, and the results still stood:

a) it would never get widespread attention because the media is very liberal and
b) enviro's would hate it, because along with liberalia and environuttia go a certain element of bias against american things. And if jeeps and tahoes were very efficient, this would not work for them, so they'd simply never accept it.

much less if hummers were demonstrated to be efficient... they'd start giving hummers love precisely never, regardless of any evidence.
