Sure, unless you actually care about the environment.
Hybrid and electric cars are bad news for the environment. They trick people into thinking they're being environmentally friendly in buying a car. The fact is, the environmentally friendly thing to do would be to
not buy any car. Hybrids and electrics keep people from making the much-needed lifestyle changes that are the real solution, like moving closer to your job/school/daycare so you can walk instead of drive (which, incidentally, would reduce the obesity pandemic). They also keep governments from making sustainable policy, like subsidizing public transit instead of research in electric vehicles and biofuels.
