I am an evironmentalist.
Fact: Global levels of Oxygen are depleting.
Fact: Global levels Carbon Dioxide are increasing.
Coal and Oil are the reasons for these two facts.
Hybrid cars are essentially the same as gasoline cars. 85% of America's electricity comes from burning coal. Electricity power from coal has essentially the same pollution capacity as gasoline burning power.
The problem isn't SUVs, the problem is the stranglehold that oil and coal has on our species. Oil and coal are essentially stored carbon from plant life eons ago. We burn it and it goes back into the atmosphere.
Until we can generate energy without burning carbon, it doesn't matter whether our cars are bigger or smaller. SUVs are simply a scapegoat. All cars pollute, SUVs just do it slightly more.
clean energy is a reality, just not economical.
Ride your bike. Or walk. Cars make you fat.
