I think it's an interesting experiment, but I'm not convinced that the current trend is going to be the solution. While hybrids help people to feel like they're making a statement and helping the environment, I don't buy into the hype.
What do you do with the batteries? If everybody were to move towards electric vehicles, would we be able to generate enough electricity to handle the increased demand? What about the pollution created by generating that electricity? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I think those are just a few of the issues w/ moving towards electric vehicles.
