The environment and hybrid cars

There is coming to be more of a push for environmentally savvy consumers to drive hybrid cars. The ads on television tout their superiority to the terrible gas guzzlers. And in the coming election, the environment is one of the main stage issues because of the recent “go green” movement. On many college campuses, students are becoming passionate about the politics of their chosen candidate. But how many students actually drive hybrid cars? They have been out for enough time that a new generation will have gotten to make the choice in car buying.
On a walk around a typical college parking lot, one isn’t blown away by the presence of hybrids. Especially at a private university, you are more likely to see a BMW or a Mercedes. A walk through the lot presents possibly 5 or 6 hybrids among the entire lot; most of the cars are a respectable middle price range car. It is the exception to see a hybrid car, unfortunately.
While driving a hybrid car isn’t the largest or most critical way to help the environment, it is becoming more of an advantage to the driver due to rising gas prices. Both environment and the skyrocketing gas prices are major election issues. More and more people are realizing how important the environment issues are becoming, and therefore people are looking at how the candidates plan to handle many of the problems. As more people become concerned with the state of the world, they will start buying the eco-friendly green products, like hybrid cars.
