Hi Paul,
I must admit I had my doubts and have heard that the manufacturing processes used in making the hybrid were detrimental to the environment. But your article (which does have reference if you read it properly) has informed me that all car manufacturing damages the environment.

I think this is a good article for the non scientific person.
Thanks
Martin

Harry…

The manufacturing process was reported in The Washington Post as stated in the article above. There is a link to our original report on that subject and the Sudbury criticism too.

If you read on you’ll see that “our verdict” offers support for hybrid cars.

“From there, it embarks on a lengthy, and presumably environmentally harmful, journey around the world. First it heads to Wales… then to China… and finally to Japan where it is then shipped for sale worldwide.”

Oh, come on! How can you write such nonsense? Prove your statement. I guarantee its nonsense.

The Sudbury nickel criticism is also nonsense, and has been thoroughly debunked, if only you had bothered to look into that.

This was a very poor article, full of lies and inuendos. People seem to be terrified of hybrid cars, and the author is apparently one of them.
