I was recently talking to a friend about her family car purchase; she said: 'Yeah, we heard Priuses weren't that green--there are some issues with battery disposal. So we got a Subaru', there's a problem with that logic though.
We don't have a battery disposal problem, we have a climate crisis. And even if we were overrun with batteries we couldn't dispose of safely, the climate problem would still trump the battery problem.
The Prius is much better at addressing climate than the Subaru.
