A heavier car means more materials used, and therefore bigger carbon footprint. While the number of hybrid cars is still small, disposal of batteries is not a major concern as yet. However, the day will come when this will present a big challenge and the impact will negate any "green" quality, making such technology environmentally unfriendly. So, can anyone come out with a recyclable green battery design?
