First and foremost in hybrids' environmental impact are the batteries that store the electricity to power the hybrid drive system. Most hybrids use a nickel metal hydride system, which requires nickel mining, which is often done in open cast mines with all the pollution that comes along with excavating large holes in the ground. These mining sites are left in such a state that they are typically declared dead zones after the nickel has been harvested and the mining has moved elsewhere.

There is nothing green about a nickle mine site.
