Yes, I believe that more Cars should be offered as hybrids. It would really help the environment
more than we lazy Americans do, more gas and money would be saved for our people, and our choices
would mean more to the public than they once did.
Like I had said that we Americans these days are so lazy that is why we are in an
environmental crisis. You know if all of those lazy people just had the choice to buy a hybrid then
without doing really anything we could nearly solve our environment problem.
Some people will say it is too expensive for them to afford but if the companies that can
make the prices the same or little more as the other car that was offered as a hybrid now. This
would open up a whole new choice decision for peoples.
The gas you save for a hybrid is phenomenal. Like for instance if you bought a Volvo and a
hybrid the Volvo would cost more in about a year or two than the cost for the hybrid with gas too. |

Technology has been around for years. The big three have just been dragging it out for more profit
and look where they are now... |

Yes, I support the thing that more cars should be offered as hybrids. It could be very much
efficient in terms of saving energy as well as giving the proper boost to the engine of the car. A
hybrid motor consists of couple of motors-a gasoline powered motor and an electric motor. When the
electric motors are kept being turned off, they use no energy and use much lesser energy in a low
speed situation than that of the gasoline motors. But at the high speed situation, the gasoline
motors are proved to be better in terms of saving energy. Although this motor is capable of
producing more power for a limited motor weight. Therefore, at the rush hour stage, when a car needs
to be stopped and go ahead numerously, the electric motor would be a better choice and while speedy
journey prefers to the gasoline motors. |

Cars should normally have a hybrid option- it'd help the environment, promote caring for the Earth,
and allow more choices to the customers. |

First off: What is a hybrid car? Basically, it’s a normal, fuel efficient car that has two motors
– an electric motor and a gasoline powered motor. The reason for two motors is in the strengths
and weaknesses of both types. Specifically, electric motors use no energy during idle – they turn
off – and use less than gas motors at low speeds. Gas motors do better at high speeds and can
deliver more power for a given motor weight. That means during rush hour stop and go driving, the
electric motor works great and, as an added benefit, does not produce any exhaust thus reducing smog
levels. Another benefit of having the gas motor is it charges the batteries while it’s running.
Many an electric car owner has been stranded just out extension cord range of an outlet. Hybrid
owners can forget about this annoyance; the gas motors starts automatically when the battery gets
low and proceeds to charge the battery – a hybrid never needs to be plugged into an outlet. |

Hybrid cars are also known as green cars as they emit environment friendly gases and the fuels used
in the car play no role to deplete natural resources of oil or gas. Due to these two major
advantages attached to hybrid vehicles they should be the future cars. The hybrid technology will
also save car owners from high prices of other fuels.
The only problem with hybrid cars is that they are available in limited varieties and not everyone
would want to have the small sized hybrid cars being offered at present. Awareness is another area
where hybrid technology lags behind and the need of the hour is to educate car owners about
advantages that this technology has to offer. |

Totally agree with this statement. |

From the view of the increasing of gas prices, I think we should be offered with more hybrids. But
to be truthful, I don't know if hybrids cars really do good to environment or not. |

I am FOR more choices in the hybrid arena. I believe that attempts in the past have been stymied by
large corporations. I believe it will continue to be slow going, but it IS finally going. So here we
go. I would, by the way, like to see a Jeep hybrid. |

I really don't know but if I had to say it would be no. I have a friend who is not only a long
standing car maniac but a pretty dam smart guy and he says that all hybrids do is divert the
pollution from the air into other places like our soil. |

Hybrids in my opinion are worthless. I think the government should make the emissions a little more
favorable to diesels, because give the automakers' a little time to create cleaner diesels, and we
will soon have cars here that are like ones in Europe. This is good because, for example, a Prius
can reel in about 46 miles to a gallon, where a comparative diesel can pull in over 60, while
costing less. |

Hybrids are a step in the right direction. Wouldn’t there be more on the market however if the
demand was there?
The reason there aren’t more hybrid dual fuel vehicles around is that A) they are expensive to
manufacture, and B) consumer demand isn’t really that strong.
If hydrocarbons are depleting at the rate we are told, surely we should be taking bolder steps to
tackle the problem, not just messing about with half-baked compromises?
The only way to get more oil burners off our roads is by concentrating efforts and investment into
such clean technologies as hydrogen fuel cells. These are already being used on experimental cars
and the only thing that comes out the ‘exhaust’ is water! |
