KTO “Did you know...it takes about 90 barrels of oil to make 1 car?”

That statement alone puts into perspective just how environmentally friendly the whole Cash For Clunkers program was, considering they had to destroy functioning automobiles.

Back to the point. A hybrid boat is certainly not cost effective and is probably not environmentally responsible as one might think. At a cost of 150K, the purchaser would never enjoy any financial benefits over the life of the boat. However an owner of a hybrid boat could put an Al Gore sticker on the transom and have the bragging rights that he or she is “doing his part to save the planet”. I guess that is worth something.
