Hybrids are not good enough, the fact that electric cars have been possible for centuries shows that. Tesla Motors is the way to go, IMO.

As for benefits beyond environmental:

-No gasoline, no oil, no extra hassel
-Can cross shallow streams since there is no tail pipe
-Can use aircondition while waiting in the car since there is no emmision
-Can charge at home, or at a station
-Batteries can be improved to last much longer
Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex. Karl Marx

the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. Senator Ted Stevens
