Personally, I would like to see more of them, and like to see it where they get the maintence and up keep costs down, as well as overall energy costs. I disagree heavily with conservatives regarding CAFE standards. I think we should have them, I think vehicles should get better milage, and it should be mandated. That's a long story in and of itself. I just found the electrical thing silly, but, I also worry for the people who interact with these vehicles.

It is yet another hazard that they must deal with. I'm not saying, Teach is not saying, that hybrids are bad. What it is, is pointing out a risk that our civil servants need to be made aware of and trained for.

A CFL contains 1/5 the mercury found in a watch battery. http://www.eartheasy.com/live_energyeff_lighting.htm Teach about 500, 000 Prius models have been sold in the USA. Please tell us how many instances of death by electrocution have occurred ? Following the links back to the original story in the Denver News I also found that obviously the writer new nothing about electricity and Klein the mechanic if he knew didn't say. He says that 330v can kill you even 50 0r 100 volts can kill you. As anyone who has worked around electricity knows its not the volts that kill you it is the amperage. 12v can kill with enough amps.
