Hummer greener than Prius? yeah right.

[jamesaspinwall]

I came across an article stating that the Hummer is greener than the Prius. What a hogwash!! So I am posting the counter argument, just in case anyone meets someone with such an argument.

Just a teaser paragraph,

CNW Marketing Research Inc. – Study on Hybrid Efficiency
" This study makes some surprising and uncorroborated claims about the total environmental impact of vehicles over the complete lifecycle (i.e. production – use – recycling)."

Cheers,

James

We need a "sticky" for this topic somewhere obvious...

[tripp]

yeah, at this point I think a sticky is in order. This topic or something like it got posted something like 4-5 times this week alone.

Sometimes it's fun to beat a dead horse though.

Greetings jaspinwall we are a, well how should I put this . . . hmmmm, er... vocal lot? Yeah thats it we here at Priuschat are a rather vocal lot. Welcome and salutations and thanks for the reminder of the Hummer v. Prius debate. Wade right in and once again welcome, might want to pick through some of the forum's first before posting questions and if it's an opinion you desire to express well then go straight to FHoP (Fred's House of Pancakes) and have at it, hope your not thin skinned.

Congrat's on purchasing the Prius, I hope to hear a lot more from you in the future.

p.s. BTW we have a Folding@Home team here that would love to have you join! Just think you can save the enviroment, own a Prius and save lives all at the same time! Please see this Topic for more info . . . http://priuschat.com/Anyone-out-there-Fold...ome-t25462.html

A variation on the theme, in an official brochure for the Jeep Wrangler.

Remarkable read; it contains a top-100 ranking of 'greenest cars'; the Prius is 74th, the Civic Hybrid 73rd.

The main thrust of the argument seems to be 'old-style components made from old materials in old factories makes for greener results'.

Comments are welcome!
