Dark Side of Hybrid Vehicles

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.

Can you provide a summary of the articles' main points?

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!

Great point. I did not mean to start a thread about batteries but I did.
My goal was to make the subscribers aware of the article. That's why I
reposted and left out the comment about batteries. I like Hybrid
vehicles--especially the new Accord Hybrid but the cost of it is too much
for me to pay. I was not aware of the dark side of hybrid vehicles until I
read the article.

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

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

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

Yep. Good writer though. Loved Cannonball.

I stand corrected. Friedman also wrote a column on this

But it looks like Zakaria's was first.
