Demonstrably false, since people do buy hybrids. Got one (Honda Insight) in my driveway. Toyota seems to have managed to sell all its Prius output, at least until the last couple of months - and they're STILL selling better than SUVs. Same applies to diesels: people buy them.

Why should there be, until there's actually a significant number of NiMH batteries around that need to be recycled? The great majority of hybrid battery packs are still going strong: of the ones that do fail, it's often a matter of replacing one bad cell (or string, for the Honda packs), after which the refurbished pack can go back in service.

If the Pirus is the answer why isn't every car on the road a Pirus?

'Cause Toyota can only build so many per year? Because there's more than one possible answer? Every car on the road may not be a Prius, but there sure are a lot of them, and Honda hybrids, and they're getting more common every year :-)
