10. Conventional hybrids get ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of their energy from gasoline (or diesel), so anyone

promoting conventional hybrids (i.e. non-plug-in hybrids) as a solution to the climate crisis is at best ignorant.

Unfortunately plug-in hybrids have their issues too, i.e. that on average they are being driven largely in gasoline mode rather than electric mode, as too many people don't bother to plug them in, or not often enough. And/or generally drive well beyond the 30 mile or so range of their batteries.
