There are not too many things that do not give off pollution. Even us humans, every time we have a bowel movement, we give off methane. We breathe in air, we give off carbon dioxide (a terrible green house gas). The best we can do is keep our carbon footprint as little as possible.
Hybrid cars produce less pollution, but they do produce some when the gasoline engine is running.
Hybrids (Prius especially!) are actually worse for the environment. The fuel cell needs special metals that are extremely energy intensive to obtain. One Prius creates the same amount of air pollution to make, as a one hummer will create during is lifetime on the road. And this is just to make them. Hybrids still use and require gasoline to function, they just use less.
They don’t help if you are driving on the freeways without traffic.
It makes more sense to build more freeways, than to have every one drive around with 200lbs of toxi lithium.
Hybrid cars DO pollute, but not as much as regular cars. I drive a car that runs only on natural gas (methane), which is cleaner than any hybrid out there. So, if you want super clean, look for a car that runs on natural gas. It also costs much less to fill up (I’m paying 95 cents per gallon). I’ll give sources below so you can see if one would work for you in your area.
