Carbon Footprint

BlueCollarMan asked:


I saw a hybrid on the road yesterday- the owner was so proud of himself he had a license plate that said “Low CO2″
DUH- Everyone seems to act like electricity is free!!- we all know its expensive- and its production is hardly pollution free
The real questions are is how does the cost of added electric bills compare to cost of ordinary cars
How much pollution do electric plants cause- most are coal fired.

syd luvs chris asked:


What do you think about hybrid cars? Would you buy one? Do you think they’re a genius creation or a waste of money?

oriolesfan2323 asked:


Take the following into consideration….
How are you going to legislate this in a free country addicted to cars? Also can the auto manufacturers actually build that many hybrids? Also hybrids require large battery cells, what about their disposal later? Also, not every hybrid does a good job on gas mileage?

SCIKOTIC TC asked:


I’m doing this for a class project and I need help, so here’s my question.

What do hybrid cars do (such as the Prius) when the battery doesn’t have charge anymore and you don’t use the regenerative braking as much to recharge the battery?
emiller, you answer doesn’t relate to my question, thanks anyway.

Its is a known fact that cars are one of the major contribution for green house gases. So recently the car manufactures come up with a new Eco friendly car, which is the hybrid cars. So my question is, if the global population adopt to hybrid car, can global warming be prevented?

gasfj asked:


Can somebody explain how the braking energy in hybrid cars is used to recharge the battery or whatever?

claire asked:


This speech needs to be persuasive and 7-9 minutes long. Also, after my speech is done the class will ask me questions regarding my topic(hybrid cars) so I really need some credible research.

Also, if anyone feels strongly about hybrids, tell me why they are so important and people should be concerned….besides the whole global warming/high gas prices thing. I want solid information. Thanks!

Porkchop Jones asked:


My question is: If everyone buys a hybrid car, what will we do with all the batteries in 10 years?

Smith asked:


Electric cars and hybrid cars are need by us, but can they compete today’s cars like in Speed, Power, Comfort, Looks?
