Hybrids are better for the environment. They save oil and they save the environment tons of greenhouse gas. I guess they were invented for people who wanted a cleaner Earth.
They are more of a sales gimmick then a product that us pro environment. There is a great deal of extra energy and really nasty chemicals that go into the making of a hybrid that are not used as extensively in a conventional auto.
The mileage is slightly better and safety is not that much lower. They definitely make people "feel" better. Many people that buy hybrids enjoy that feeling.
While environmentally they are probably slightly worse then a conventional auto of the same size they do save a small amount of fuel. That savings does equate to a slight reduction in foreign oil use.
The first answerer here has a great name for environmentally friendly autos. Get a minicooper. They are MUCH better for the environment then any Hybrid!
