I have heard that cars generate roughly 40-50% of toxic pollutants.

Maybe. But that's not directly relevant. Also the hybrids will also produce both toxic pollutants and CO2.


Yes, but much less.

I see the hybrid cars as a temporary solution. I am assuming we will go to all electric at some point in the next 20 years.

Maybe we will have the ability to start going electric in the next 20 years but we won't be finished with the move. Also all that electricity still has to be generated.


Yes, but the generation can be controlled more effectively, and the production is more efficient.
