The Hybrid Galaxy

Unless the owner of a Hybrid gasoline/electric car is also a co-op owner of an electric generating windmill, they may not be helping to reduce our use of foreign fuel oil that is burned in a power plant to generate electricity. And, when total energy system efficiencies are calculated, they may not be conserving any fuel oil at all. Just relocating the point of consumption.
