Those are generalities not facts, based on the rosy predictions of "experts" who either don't know better or worse yet don't care. Lets actually look at the expected results as predicted, (or more for that matter look at the actual results as predicted for actions already taken and what actually happened). If you take all inputs into account and expected longevity of the vehicle which is more ecological a Hummer h1 or a Toyota Prius. Most would say the Prius, it is after all touted as being "green", but depending how you do the analysis the reverse can be proved. Both analysis are within the bounds of reason. You pick the one you like based on your bias. But bias doesn't tell which is right. It depends really on what kind of pollution you prefer and how you measure energy usage more than anything else. However I'm more convinced by the numbers on the side of the H1, yet as a civilian vehicle the H1 fails miserably and I certainly wouldn't want to own one. Sometimes what you think is helping is hurting more than doing nothing at all.
