The Hybrid vehicle: The diet cola of saving the world.

So I drive a H3. Yes, I know I’m an evil, evil man who should be shunned (and if some had their way, stoned or attacked with organically fed dogs). As the price of gas increases so do the unabashed looks of disgust and sneers. Little do most know that my H3 get’s (and yes I checked it) 17 in city/hwy driving and 20 on the highway (at 65-70 mph), but I digress, this isn’t about the maligned Hummer.

Now I have absolutely no problem with people wanting to conserve energy or even save some money. I would be happy as a clam if my H3 got 30+ Mpg, but you know what? It doesn’t and that’s ok too. I buy what I like, as all Americans should. So far, we are still a free country with the choice to buy what we like. I did realize something just the other day though…

Hybrids are the diet cola’s of saving the world.

What? What on God’s green earth could he ever mean? Let me tell you.. since you asked.

You see there are many aspects to our lives and the energy, and resources we consume. The ideology behind the hybrid, and to be sure, behind the whole green cult..um.. philosophy is that we, as individuals have to do our part to conserve energy and resources so that there are both more for future generations, and of course more for the less fortunate among us, especially in "3^rd" world or lesser developed nations. So, let me ask. How many hybrid drivers have plasma or LCD TV’s, two or more computers, bottled water in their refrigerator, multiple powered lawn devices, or even *gasp* a cabin "up north" or summer home?

Granted, I’m sure many hybrid owners don’t. I’m sure that the bulk of them live in single bedroom dwellings, with one small 13 inch TV, and go to the library to do any computer work (or play) that they may engage in, while they happily drink water from the tap, thus saving the landfills unneeded bulk.

So, that’s what I’m getting at. Ordering 2 cheeseburgers with fries and a pie with a diet cola isn’t fooling anyone, and for sure isn’t saving your waistline. So drive your hybrid, but even though you may have the "look at how much I care" air about you, you don’t fool me. I see you’re cheeseburger wrappers and empty water bottles on the floor. After all, I have a Hummer, and I sit higher. You might want to tint those windows.
