Save the environment. Buy a Hummer.

Okay, not exactly. But if this article can be believed, the Hummer is more environmentally friendly than the Toyota Prius:

Through a study by CNW Marketing called “Dust to Dust,” the total combined energy is taken from all the electrical, fuel, transportation, materials (metal, plastic, etc) and hundreds of other factors over the expected lifetime of a vehicle. The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles - the expected lifespan of the Hybrid.

The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles. That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use less combined energy doing it.

Wow! With 100,000 miles on my car, I guess I would be buying my secondPrius. That doesn't sound very friendly. And what would be done to dispose of the used batteries on the old one?
