Many people buy hybrid cars because they have been told that hybrids are much more eco-friendly than any other vehicles out on the market and they feel proud for supporting the Mother Nature. Surprisingly, it is a fact that a recent report announced that the Toyota Prius has a higher life time energy cost than Hummer H1 SUV (kentlaw.edu). It also states, “There are, however, environmental costs to mining and smelting (in Canada) 1,000 tons a year of zinc for the battery-powered second motor, and the shipping of the zinc 10,000 miles - trailing a cloud of carbon - to Wales for refining and then to China for turning it into the component that goes to a battery factory in Japan” (kentlaw.edu). In other words, the hybrids emit less carbon dioxide and other gases but it releases far more energies and toxic gases into atmosphere at production and disposal stage.

Not to forget the enormous amount of tailings and hazards left behind as a byproduct of the materials needed. This causes more damage to the environment than the emissions from a normal gasoline powered
Hybrid cars are built on the advantages of both combustion engine cars and battery-powered electric motor cars, and the hybrid cars will be an alternative to combustion engine cars until next step technologies such as fully electric vehicles or fuel-cell powered vehicles will take over.

Nuclear Energy is energy obtained by changes in the nucleus of atoms and is used in a method of production of electric power. Nuclear power plants produce about 15 to 19 percent of the world’s electricity and are a vital source of energy that helps support the power grid. Nuclear energy is produced by splitting a nucleus to release energy in a process called nuclear fission. Nuclear fission happens when the nucleus of an atom is split by another particle into two or more parts. Most of the energy produced by this process is released into heat energy. The heat energy is transferred into water which turns to steam. The steam produced is used to turn turbines and produce electric energy (Corradini).
