I’m sure you could make a profession doing something like this.
Nice work

If it is true that jet engines and coin production causes significantly more environmental harm than the Prius, then i suppose that the impact that the car has is so minimal in comparison that there really is no reason to buy cars like the Prius which supposedly save the world.

Please note that in the film my exposition is not that the Prius is environmentally damaging. I’m simply saying that if you do want a fuel efficient car then a conventional car, a diesel, or especially a 2nd hand car will be better for the environment than the Prius.

Thanks again for your comments

That allegation was brought forth by CNW Marketing (who markets for GM no less, so there is an ulterior motive to plug the Hummer and bash the Prius), which has been repeatedly discredited. They cited pollution around the Sudbury nickel mines in Ontario Canada, but that plant had been polluting the environment for 30 years before the first Prius ever came onto the market.

Consider this: The U.S and Canadian governments use more nickel to mint its coins every year than Toyota uses to make Prius batteries. Yet nobody is screaming bloody murder about how your coins are causing environmental harm.

How about the aircraft jet engines, which needs high-temperature nickel alloys by the ton for its compressor fan blades, or nickel stainless steel by the ton for building construction? The amount of nickel used in all the Priuses made to date is miniscule compared to all the other uses for Nickel.

The CNW Marketing report has been refuted by organizations like the Argonne National Laboratory and the Pacific Institute. It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.

Funny that years after CNW came out with their tissue of marketing lies, their client GM decided to jump on the hybrid bandwagon with their 2-mode hybrid system that cost a billion dollars to develop.
