I'm not even anti-oil, I'm ok with fossil fuels, I just would like to see more research focus on more efficient forms of energy, be it private incentives or Gov. funded, whatever.

Renewable Energy - "energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power."

Prius uses gas and electric, where the electric comes from is obviously mixed.

Hope this helps.

are you asking if the prius battery is, at the end of its life (estimated to be at 150,000 miles or so), recyclable? yes. why are you so desperate to criticize fuel efficiency or electric motors? do you work for exxon?
