RE: Warranties and Batteries

Comment comment by TMKelley on 17 November 2005

Which is worse for the environment? The miniscule extra amount of pollutants that would have been released into the atmosphere by choosing a Toyota Camry over Prius, or the 300 pounds of batteries that will eventually end up in a landfill?

RE: Warranties and Batteries by Brandon :: NR9

I'm not sure where this comment came from, but I've heard the point before. I wonder, though, how certain are you that the batteries are landfill bound? If they were, what would be the severity of the environmental impact? Until I get some hard data, I'm not going to pull a skeptic and "suspend judgement."
