That aside, I don't know why people keep pushing $40,000 hybrids and electric cars. I have a $2000 electric scooter which saves me tons of money on gas. I have zero guilt about "the environment" (whatever that is) but I also have zero gasoline bills.

The idea that plain hybrids will make any difference with respect to global warming or significantly reduce dependence on foreign oil is laughably inane. Hybrids are literally a drop in the bucket when it comes to fuel economy. The problem with plain hybrids is that it is simply not a cost effective
