A blind woman sits in a chair holding a video camera focused on a scientist sitting in front of her. She has a device in her mouth, touching her tongue, and there are wires running from that device to the video camera. The woman has been blind since birth and doesn't really know what a rubber ball looks like, but the scientist is holding one. And when he suddenly rolls it in her direction, she puts out a hand to stop it. The blind woman saw the ball. Well, not exactly through her tongue, but the device in her mouth sent visual input through her tongue in much the same way that seeing individuals receive visual input through the eyes. In both cases, the initial sensory input mechanism -- the tongue or the eyes -- sends the visual data to the brain, where that data is processed and interpreted to form images. But do the environmental impacts of hybrid vehicle production outweigh the long-term benefits of driving a cleaner running automobile? Keep reading as we break down the statistics for both hybrid production emissions and hybrid driving emissions and learn what "green" really means. This type of manufacturing process requires tremendous inputs of energy, particularly the forging of materials like steel, aluminum, glass and plastic. The major reason is because hybrids like the Prius include more advanced components than a conventional car, including a second electric motor and heavy battery packs. Regenerative braking lets hybrids generate and store their own energy to power the vehicle at low speeds and while idling. Unfortunately, both nickel-hydride batteries and the newer lithium-ion batteries rely on the mining of nickel, copper and so-called rare earth metals. There are additional environmental concerns related to those rare earth metals, like those used in the magnets of hybrid batteries. One of the reasons China could sell lithium so cheaply was because it widely ignored environmental safeguards during the mining process.
