Payback period on hybrid cars

If you want to "save the environment", then keep the car you have till it drops.

NO! I must have a new car every 2-4 years! It's the American way, dammit! I'm entitled to it! I'll be unfashionable if I don't have shiny shiny paint parked in the driveway and a payment hanging over my head every month for the rest of my life!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  Anyone that think hybid cars are good for the environment failed thermodynamics.

On the economic side, as far as long term strategy goes, It is time to kill the electric car, drive a stake through its heart, and burn the corpse.

Bring on birdman's plan of synthetic methanol and dimethylether to replace gasoline and diesel and be done with the hybrid nonsense.

And another has seen the light!  Hallelujah brothers!

You wouldn't happen to own like a major TV network or have a few billion lying around would you?

Count me in that group too...

I used to think going Fischer-Tropsch all the way to neat gasolines and diesels was the way to go. The more I study methanol, the more it seems to be a short cut to the same liquid fuel goal with very few drawbacks and a lot of cost reduction.

So, you guys are saying that payback is a beotch?

Whodathunk it?

stay safe.

The whole "green notion" is kinda warped. I still have my 1992 Camry. It's a 4 cyl. 5 speed manual that gets about 35 mpg. It was cheap in 92 and has been payed off since 97. Probably put a few grand in it over 20 years for repairs and routine maintenance. Has 200k on it and still going strong. Simple is always better.

Ya think? These people are *expletive deleted*ing psycho and make cults like the Jonestown folks look normal.
