Toyota Prius is environmentally friendly.
Toyota Prius is made from various recycled materials and they tend to be very good for the environment because they save resources. Also the hybrid dual-drive system pollutes the environment less. The exhaust of the Prius extract very very low CO2 and it does not harm the trees what so ever. Finally a fine machine that is here to save the world.
The world has a stick up its bottom ever since Prius hit the market.
The battery used in Prius that stores energy is no extra ordinary design. There is about 200lbs of nickel used in a single Prius. The nickel comes from a mine in South of Canada. That means million tons of Nickels are being extracted from the EARTH to go into the Prius. The Nickels are then transferred to France where they are processed in a nuclear facility to extract the wasted material.
Then the thousands of tons of nickel are transferred to China where they are mass produced and put into a battery form. After that these batteries are boxed and ready to be shipped to Japan where they are put together into the car.
Due to such factors, this cute and tiny car does more environmental damage than a full size v8 truck.
You may think that things have changed in the third generation Prius.
You are right, they have, more nickel is used in the making of the batteries.
How about the amount of CO2 released in the air? Is that a good enough benefit that we are receiving at such high cost?
Porsche has the technology to create engines that extract 0.00g of CO2. Instead they release H2O, pure water, coming out of their exhaust.
That means Porsche has created an engine that cleans the air as it sails through the highways. A moving filter.
The H2O released in the air will be then transferred into rain, and thus the pollution will be wiped!!!
Also, Porsche 911 turbo uses three times less fuel than the Prius by ration of the engine size.
Is Prius a technological break through or another pet rock? you are the judge.
