A hybrid vehicle uses electricity and gas to power two engines, opposed to a single-engined, gas powered, "regular" car. A hybrid not only costs more up front, the weight and lack of horsepower compared to gasoline cars will probably make it less efficient and slow. Alternatives should be considered, such as EVs (electric vehicles), fuel-efficient gasoline cars, etc.
