>The reason I asked the question is because I can't tell you the number of people that I know that drive a Prius because it's "more environmentally friendly compared to a standard gasoline powered car". That's a bunch of crappola. It emits fewer emissions, but is not more environmentally friendly. The Prius has additional manufacturing steps and the battery must be disposed after it's dead.

1) Where is all the power to run these small cars going to come from?

2) Where is the power distribution system going to come from (got to get all this extra power to the homes)

Just off the top of my head.....
