I was perusing one of the Top Gear sites through a link on Facebook. Tripped across this Jeremy Clarkson take on the rush to Hybrids, and draws an interesting link to the rush to Catylitic Convertors in the 80's. It seems Cat's create more CO2 and Margaret Thatcher of all people was against this (it seems Ms Thatcher maybe isn't as dim as some of you want to believe). Anyhow..she was ignored, and we have them on every car now, and I personally don't think not having them or having them makes a HUGE difference, but there you go.

I do agree though with Clarkson that Hybrids are a dead end technology. I would LOVE to see Hydrogen fuel be perfected....
