  • Exxon Mobil Diversifies Into the Hybrid Car Market
    The "report" that stated the Toyota hybrids have a larger carbon footprint than a Hummer was put out in 2005 by CNW Marketing, which does marketing work for GM (the maker of the Hummer).

    Obvious motive there, that is why nobody with a brain cell takes that "report" seriously.

    CNW Marketing wanted to accuse Toyota of pollution by using nickel in its batteries, which is complete BS considering that:

    - Stainless steel manufacture uses thousands of tonnes of nickel per year.

    - Ditto manufacture of jet engines with high-temperature nickel alloys.

    - And the U.S. Mint uses more nickel per year to mint its coins than Toyota can ever use to manufacture Prius batteries.

    Funny thing is, even GM is hopping onto the hybrid bandwagon these days, using the same nickel metal-hydride batteries as the Toyota hybrids in cars such as the Yukon Hybrid, the Malibu Hybrid, and the Saturn Vue Green Line.

    Pot, Kettle, Black!
