Hybrid systems will be used for both fuel economy, as well as give cars a performance boost.

I read an article in Motor Trend or maybe it was Car and Driver awhile back about hybrid cars, and basically it was a comparison between a Prius and an H2. IIRC, in order to build a hybrid (such as a Prius), "x" amount of acres of land are destroyed for years because of the minerals needed for the batteries. Meaning they cannot support plant life which in turn does not support animal life. When that is compared with the horrible gas mileage of an H2 i think they said it was more economical to own an H2 for 5 years than a Prius for the same time period, or somehting along that line...
