Hybrid cars have been declared the future of cars already. They come in a number of shapes and sizes and not surprisingly, they are usually a long shot from the conventional designs. But, that is not the only charm of hybrid cars. The most important aspect of hybrid cars is that those who drive these cars are supporting the environment. They are playing their own small role of reducing pollution; saving natural resources and helping the world go green.
Even the most environment conscious people cannot sacrifice their time and energy every time to play a small part in reducin
g pollution. So, we cannot expect people to drive around electric cars that do not run fast enough on freeways or even on regular highways, when they are pressed for time. This prevents people from opting for greener cars even if they want to. Hybrids cars are the solution for them as they have 2 or more power sources, one for speed and one for going green.

This prevents people from opting for greener cars even if they want to. Hybrids cars are the solution for them as they have 2 or more power sources, one for speed and one for going green. By reducing the usage of conventional engines and hence fuel, hybrid cars enable reduction in pollution. When running in the green mode i.e. on alternative energy, hybrid cars produce almost zero emissions and reduced noise. They not only protect the environment by reducing air pollution, they also play a role in controlling sound pollution as well as conserving natural resources. This saving in fuel can help reduce the pull on the natural fuel reserves and hence, help controlling the energy crisis.
Hybrid vehicles also utilize power that would usually be wasted such as braking power, etc. This is later utilized to reduce the consumption of fuel. Thus, the wasted power that would have been shed to the environment in the form of heat is also prevented thereby, reducing the heat rejected to the environment. It also helps increase the life of the parts such as brakes and hence again helps conserve natural resources.
Hybrid cars have an extremely positive impact on the environment and are the right choice for people who are conscious about nature and do not wish to compromise on their lifestyle.

I must disagree with the statement that electric cars do not run fast enough on highways or freeways. Tesla's Roadster has a 0-60MPH speed of 3.9 seconds and Chrysler has announced that it is in development of 3 new electric vehicles, one of which will be released in 2010 that have freeway worthy speeds.
From the Detroit Free Press "LaSorda said the Dodge sports car, which hasn’t been named yet, runs only on electricity from advanced battery technology and has a range from 150 to 200 miles. It will go from zero to 60 in under five seconds, he added. "It’s a great tribute to Chrysler engineers." " http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080923/BUSINESS01/80923029
Both companies' cars are capable of hitting speeds over 100mph.
While these vehicles may not be cheap neither are Hybrids. If you're going to spend the money go all the way, save yourself even more in the future.
That' s great information Rylia. I was not aware of the advancements happening in the electric car industry.

When running in the green mod, hybrid cars produce almost zero emissions and reduced noise. What do you say?
