Do hybrid cars make pollution?

A car's greatest pollution creating point is during construction. The second greatest portion of a car's pollution comes from the destruction of the car. Hybrid cars are built and will be destroyed at some point. Furthermore they create pollution when they move, the about the same pollution as a conventional car. They do save about 10% in fuel economy, but create more pollution during the construction due to the extra electronics and batteries. The premature destruction of a conventional car to allow room for the purchase of a hybrid could mean that the individual increased the amount of pollution to purchase the car.

Why is using hybrid cars good?

While not really good for the environment, they do save some fuel. The overall cost per mile is not much higher then a conventional car. The pollution issue is possibly greater as their lives are shorter. The primary cause of pollution for automobiles is the junking of them. Keeping the same car longer and keeping it running well is far better then buying a new hybrid. Actually hybrid cars have been on the market for such a short time that is not possible yet to really compare how long they last to standard cars. Most people who own hybrid cars have not yet owned them as long as the typical lifetime of a non-hybrid car. So far there is little or no evidence that they wear out any sooner than normal cars - but only time will tell.
