Looks like Warren has been reading the Hummers are more green than the Prius propaganda. Warren also seems to neglect providing any facts or sources to back up his claims along with 'forgetting' about mentioning the fact that batteries are recycled.
How about some quick math to check out some of Warrens 'facts'. Assuming that a car is driven for 150,000 miles, a 25 mpg car will consume 6000 gallons of gas, while a 50 mpg car (the Prius) will consume 3000 gallons of gas. So, using Warren's logic, it takes more than 3000 gallons of gas to make a Prius battery pack. Anybody out there that understands battery manufacturing that can dispute (or confirm) the claim?
