I see your point though.
I'm similar re. voting. The problem at the moment is there is no strong opposition.

Right. It's a tradeoff: greenhouse gases or smog (although even the particulates are far less than traditional engines and still meet California Auto Board standards). If I lived in a center where smog was a real issue, I'd probably opt for a gasoline hybrid, but here in Calgary I'll go with the better fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gases.
