Some wonderful urban legends have sprung up about the Prius and its battery,
the most colorful being this claim about the hybrid being less ecofriendly than
a Hummer. Some of the more thrilling chapters originated in one study done by a
marketing company that was not peer-reviewed but, unfortunately, was widely
quoted in the media. Writer George Will, who is syndicated in 450 papers,
penned an April column on the topic, headlined "Use a Hummer to Crush a Prius."
The story was also pumped into the Internet-disinformation pipeline by gleeful
bullies for whom size is apparently quite important, and before long the Prius
had morphed into a sort of traveling toxic-waste dump trailing clouds of
diabolical fossil-fuel exhaust.
