The Toyota PriusEnvironmentalists tout the Toyota Prius and others of its ilk as something that can "save" the environment." Yet according to a new research report, Dust to Dust: The Energy Cost of New Vehicles From Concept to Disposal, the lifetime energy cost of new hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius is 67% greater than the often-vilified GM Hummer." So how does a car that is WORSE on the environment become something that will "save" the environment? Typical of the "smoke and mirrors" the environmental idiots use to make you THINK you can DO something about "global warming." These are people, remember, who lecture about using smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, then go home in their SUVs. Or get on their fuel-gulping jet planes after going to the airport in their SUVs.

Very nice, it is so true that most of the people at toyota drive (yes, nie but still) very gas wasting cars.
This is an outdated article that still remains very true. To get even worse toyota mass produces LCD moniters for the GPS systems. It is more enviromntly hazardous to mass produce an LCD which contains many harmful components. It is less enviromently hazardous to mass produce a plazma screen and use that.

Thank you for your comment. It's nice to know that somebody is actually reading this blog. Thank you also for reinforcing my point that from beginning to end, a Prius costs more to the environment than other cars. These GPS systems and their LCD monitors are but a small part of what I'm talking about. They may use less gas and put out less pollution while running during their useful life (or at the beginning, anyway) but the totality of the manufacturing process to the energy needed to crush it when it dies exceeds that needed for other cars. And yes, Toyota employees, like environmentalists, do use gas-guzzling large vehicles while preaching to us not to do so. Still, I wonder how this can be an "outdated article" if what it says is still true.
