They are anything BUT a fad. Hybrid cars are a STEP in the right direction. We can not put all of our energy into a non-renewable energy source like oil. Oil, like anything else that is derived from the earth, will eventually run out. The United States has been putting off an alternative fuel for decades. Are Hybrid cars the answer to our oil/global warming problems? NO, but they are a giant leap to something greater. I personally believe electric cars are the future. Some people believe Ethanol is the answer, but that like oil will eventually run out. Everwhere else in the world seems to think Fuel Cell Vehicles are the future except the United States, where stuck on giant SUV's that get 10mpg, and short term answers to oil prices.
