Why do people seem to like hybrids so much?

drewdude320i questioned:

I don’t get it. Bot only are they physically repellent, but they’re terrible for the background. For model, building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental hurt than a Hummer that is on the road for three era longer than a Prius. The Prius is to some extent obsessed by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a sow in Sudbury, Ontario. This sow has caused so much environmental hurt to the surrounding background that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the sow to test moon rovers. The area around the sow is devoid of any life for miles.

The sow is the source of all the nickel found in a Prius’ battery and Toyota buys 1,000 tons annually. This factory is each preservationist’s nightmare.

And on top of that…45 mpg isn’t splendid. Well, i mean Americans see it as fantastic in view of the fact that they’re used to suburbans and crap. But a VW Golf Diesel does upwards of 65 mpg basically. And it’s cheaper to buy and keep up, and lasts longer. So…Why??
I wasn’t specifically discussion about the US – but VW offers a few diesel cars over here, as well as jeep, mercedes, and I reflect Ford.
Of course taxi’s will have high miles, they are constantly driving. But they will have to have battery maintenance eventually – it’s pure fact that batteries lose their carrying room over time.
The sow where the nickel is harvested doesn’t grow to have found uncommon ways to return it, so how can you say the problem is gone?
It subdue sounds to me like hybrids are just an pricey hassle, and that environmentalists buy them without knowing how much pollution goes into the equipment used in that car.

I also judge it takes less to manufacture or refine but it cost more, why?
Would it not help the farmers, car drivers and the state if Diesel cost or Tax was less.
Diesel cars are also shown to be more fuel efficient, why is it not encouraged by sinking the tax or cost of them.
Import and Regime Taxes, licensing, Stamp duty, conveying fess, tyres, parts and additional cost of a vehicle and running cost must be based on fuel efficiency.
