Reply #4: They always talk about the up usage of any

[Touchdown]

alternate fuel/electirc/hybrid car compared to just the plain gas usage of a regular ICE car. It's apples and oranges.

We could also talk about the plastics plant that make the Hummer's dashboards, the tool and dye emissions that forge the engines, bauxite mines aren't known to be the cleanest places in the world, and that is needed for the almost twice the sheet aluminum for the Hummer that a Prius would use, the coal fired power that it takes to run an oil refinery to make the gasoline and lubricants that the Hummer require...Oh and I'm sure that the leather seats weren't made from free range cattle either.
