Prius.
From what I've read... a 5 mile radius of the factory that creates the batteries for the Prius is basically a wasteland. Lots of chemicals and pretty bad stuff goes into those.
I don't know... do we poison 20 mi.² and build a crapload of batteries or do we poison the world with more exhaust? That argument can kind of support nuclear energy as well... which I do believe in.
I don't really have a problem with those batteries or those factories... they are what they are... I just don't think people can be pompous about using one without acknowledging that they too do contribute to the destruction of nature.
