but if their's one group of people I can't stand, it's the want-to-be-hippies driving their Prius, with the A/C on, cruising down the freeway at 65+ mph with a "save the planet" bumper sticker on it as they haul their 68kg battery pack made from some of the least eco friendly materials on earth.

This statement sounds very hostile. You don't know these people and you already can't stand them. You shouldn't judge people you don't know.
I'll back up Bob's use of the image because your words are very charged and sound like bigotry.
You are the victim of misinformation. NiMH batteries are actively recycled by Toyota. Any other manufacturers recycling the nickel/chrome in their cars/trucks? No.
As far as I know anyone is free to buy a Prius if they can afford it. Conservatives, liberals, libertarians, librarians, liars, theives, taxi drivers, priests, hippies, truck drivers, gun nuts, nuts, nuns and morons.
Judge people on their individual merits not on which group they belong to or which car they drive.
