Speaking of things that people don't think of, most of the nickel used is coming from recycled sources, and at the end of their life cycle, the batteries are fully recyclable again.

I can't find a source on the Prius, but GM says that most nickel is recycled and they will be using as much recycled nickel as they can for their batteries:

But the Volt will be using Lithium which is even better... I wonder what the naysayers are going to say then....
