I love the smell of diesel in the morning!
Who doesn't???I love the smell of diesel in the morning!

IMS batteries in Hondas are failing at rapid rates. That does not even get into the large amounts of recalls on Honda Hybrids related to batteries. The topic of shorter than advertised driving range on Volts and Tesla products. Talking about safety in serious accidents with such large batteries containing those chemicals is an entirely other story. Electric cars. LOL. PR move by WDW and nothing more.
Biased reports are just that. Biased.
The engines for Prius' have had issues with various mechanisms. The whole combo of Hybrid is a short term Lolable fad that is currently in. Hydrogen shall be the way of the future. More sustainable.
You've criticized battery components in crashes as being unsafe, yet hydrogen, while you are completely right is technically the one if not the best solution, um, there is a little problem with safe hydrogen storage on vehicles that has the whole concept not viable until that is established. I'd call hydrogen a tad more unsafe than others....
Yes they are all marketing but many people are fooled by hybrids. Want to make a huge dent in gas consumption and CO2 emissions??? Put a 2 liter engine limit on all passenger cars, trucks, SUV's anything that isn't a verifiable work truck. All fleet vehicle's switch over to nat gas and that would do a lot too because nat gas burns much cleaner than other fossil fuels. The hybrid stuff is doing nothing and down the road there will be a pile of batteries that can't be easily recycled and no one wants to deal with.
The real crazy part is there are many people out there who seriously think you can throw a couple of solar panels up and that would produce enough energy to run a car on.......no it won't not even close.
Much better than the "gas" powered bus drivers we now have, peeuuu...Electric bus drivers
True, however in some circumstances this would work...like a day at Disney...drive up, using most of your mileage, then during the day in the parking lot your car would get a pretty good recharge for your return home. And there are some solar cells that much more efficient than those you might commercially put on the roof of your house. And you could triple your recharge if 2 additional panels slid out from the main panel mounted on your roof, one sliding down over your front window, and the other down your back window. They would also keep your car interior from getting too hot.The real crazy part is there are many people out there who seriously think you can throw a couple of solar panels up and that would produce enough energy to run a car on
Well, this won't necessarily lower the carbon footprint. The deciding factor is what they are doing to get that electricity. If it's nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, or hydro-electric, then yes. In Florida, we use coal and gas mostly, which is bad. However, I heard a report on the radio that this year Florida for the first time actually lowered its dependency on carbon-based electric sources.
A little something for you about wind mills. http://news.yahoo.com/ap-impact-wind-farms-pass-eagle-deaths-072316007.html
I believe oil was out lawed for power plant fuel after the 70's embargo. SC is building the first new reactor in 30 years and luckily they have all the permits ok'ed because after the incident in Japan no new permits are being issued by the government.
Electric cars suck! And Hybrids have the cost of any car that has two engines. These buses will be within the internal routes of some Resorts. I doubt they will ever be seen making runs from MK to AOA 40 times a day.
Solar power??? Come on people, they have been beating that drum for decades, even with huge government subsidies it is still wildly expensive and produces very little power for dollars spent. Even China loses money on Solar panels.
And do not get upset, one day Hydrogen cars or CNG will hopefully make their appearance in a grand scale. They are the only real alternatives to oil. As far as electricity, we should thank the lucky stars, God, or your mother , that you live in a country so rich in Coal and NG, this has made it possible for us to have such cheaper rates of electricity than that of Europe. Energy Prices decide what kind of economy you have. Cheap allows it to Grow, High makes it stagnant . India gets this, so does china, we used to get it, now we just believe bumper stickers.

Yeah...I would not exactly call China and India great examples for how to generate electricity.
