Hybrid Car Myths
If you are thinking about a hybrid car, you may be hearing quite a bit of “talk”. Some people think the hybrid car is the best thing on the market. Some people say it’ll just pass. Other people say they think they can save a lot of money, but you’re not sure it’s really worth it. What’s the truth, and how do you separate myth from fact with all of the stuff that is being thrown at you? Below, you can read and understand the common hybrid car myths.
Hybrid cars are the same as electric cars: This is not true because hybrid cars are fuel-powered for the most part. But they have what are called ‘battery assists’. The assist is powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack that is rechargeable.
You are guaranteed to save money with a hybrid vehicle: If you are doing town motoring, you may economize on fuel and you may not. The same goes for highway driving. There are so just many different factors involved. It has been said that if everyone bought a hybrid car, the fuel consumption would drop by only 10%. That’s not a very big decline, now is it?
A hybrid vehicle’s battery can run flat: A hybrid car’s battery should not run flat when you are actually driving it. The engine in a hybrid vehicle does not idle when stopped (at a red traffic light for instance). What does it do then? Well, it recharges its battery. So there is no need to worry about a hybrid vehicle stopping for that reason.
A hybrid car’s rechargeable battery only lasts for 2 years: A hybrid car certainly would not be worth buying if this was the case. A hybrid vehicle’s rechargeable batteries usually come with an eight-year guaranty.
If I run out of fuel, I can keep driving on the hybrid car battery: Bear in mind that, a hybrid’s battery is an assist. That means that hybrid cars still run on fuel. After you run out of gas, the battery could keep the car running for a short while. However, the car will cease running very soon.
Hybrid vehicles will soon put conventional car sellers out of business: I’m sure that this won’t happen very soon. The reason for the delay has to do with the how much hybrids cost. Most people just can’t afford one. Also, people just aren’t sure whether they will actually save money by buying a hybrid car. Therefore, they are slow to join the rush of people who want to buy a hybrid car.
Hybrid cars will only save you about $88 a year: I did hear something on the news about this one day, but it may not be true. If there’s something you really want though, and there’s a lot of smoke surrounding it, you simply have to start digging and do some of your own research. There are many different models of hybrid vehicle, and many different manufacturers make them. This means that there may be many more variables involved than the ones discussed here. A hybrid car may help you, and it may not, but the final decision is all yours.
So, don’t worry too much about what people say. Do your own research and make up your own mind. Use the Internet to get information. The manufacturer’s advertising is also useful, if you stick to reading the facts and gloss over the hype. Check that what the literature claims is also in the guarantee.

I totally agree with you about why alternative energy is such an exciting, lots of bang-for-your-buck area. I'm reminded of the “triple bottom line” or “people planet profit”, “ecological, social, economic” models that are emerging and proving to be successful ways to run businesses and organizations. GRID is a nonprofit, but they're showing how alternative energy is tied to social and economic equality and empowerment.
The home based business industry is booming right now. You can build a successful home based business & take advantage of lower taxes, choose your hours & the people you want to work with, determine what you want your income to be. It is hard work, but it beats the job market right now, where layoffs are rampant. Good luck!

Don't be ridiculous, Japan's reactor did not spew radioactivity. It was contained through built in safety measures.
In Japan, which is in a very active area for earthquakes, can manage to have safe nuclear power, I think that the US, which is in a very stable area, can manage to have it as well. Europe does well
on Nuclear power.
I know there is a tendency amongst the scientifically uneducated to be afraid of technology like nuclear power. I blame the shoddy educational system for that ignorance. An ignorance that has cost many people their lives through pollution given out by conventional power plants.
