Society has been making a large effort to move everything to be greener and cleaner in today’s world, including transportation. Advertisements have led people to believe that hybrid cars pollute less, will save money and reduce dependence on natural fuel sources. The encompassing question answered in this paper is; do hybrids live up to expectations that society has suggested of them? The push to develop green technologies stems from the fact that the earth’s ozone layer is quickly changing due to the recent rapid growth in modern industry. This change is largely due to human activity; industry, transportation, waste, and everyday living. Everyday large amounts of pollutants are released into the atmosphere leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This global warming can cause major issues such as the melting of polar ice caps and a rise in sea level, which in turn would cause intense flooding in most if not all coastline areas, giving cause to other disasters such as mass erosions,mud slides, outbreaks of disease to more humid climates coastal reformation, and other disasters. Given enough time, a steady increase of these gasses would also change the length and intensity of the seasons, create droughts, and increase the frequency and impact of large storms causeing troubles for farmers and possibly wreaking havok on the global economy. Conjoined efforts are being made by countries to understand this growing dilemma, and scientists are trying to theorize ways to slow its effects. One of these theorys is to lower our carbon emmissions that cars put
