How are Plugged In Hybrid good for the environment?

Because there using electricity instead of oil. Electricity can come from many sources- Solar, Wind, Water to name just a few and those are a lot less polluting than Oil. (untrue) Above is the common misconception. An electric car runs off of a plug and can get a few dozen mile trip in each day, with enough batteries. These cars do help to some slight degree with environmental issues, but are not hybrids. Hybrids are autos that run from two fuel sources. Normally, production autos use gas and electric as their two fuels. Graders and construction equipment can be hybrids using diesel and gas. Hybrids do nothing in terms of positive impact on the environment, but do help slightly with our dependence issue on foreign oil. It is quite possible that hybrids are worse for the environment then conventional autos of the same size due to their shorter life span and the wildly bad chemicals used in their production. Batteries are never an issue for these auto's as the lead and plastic is recycled. The issue is the gases and chemicals used to make the extra electrical components.
