Yeah, they are...... Why don't you look up what they go through, and namely the pollution that's created, to create the batteries.
EDIT: Sleeve beat me... hahaha

^I did a research paper on this not that long ago, pretty funny results actually. Besides the battery pollution, they are very few parts on a prius made of recyclable materials, so when they're dead their parts can't be reconstituted. Also their components are built all over the world, so they all have to be shipped, to the factory, causing more pollution.

Most people don't take manufacturing energy consumption, pollution, and sustainability into consideration when they're buying something "green."
A product being environmentally efficient while it's in use is a small percentage of what really makes a product better for the environment.
Get learned:
"The Prius' battery contains nickel, which is mined in Ontario Canada. The plant that smelts this nickel is nicknamed "the Superstack" because of the amount of pollution it puts out; the area for miles around it is a wasteland because of acid rain and air pollution.
But the main problem that the "Dust to Dust" study has with the Prius' impact on the environment comes next.
That smelted nickel then has to travel (via container ship) to Europe to be refined, then to China to be made into "nickel foam," then to Japan for assembly, and finally to the United States. All this shipment for each tiny step in the production process costs a great deal, both in dollars, resources, and pollution.
All the production costs in mind -- the Prius costs about $3.25 per mile and is expected to last about 100,000 miles. The Hummer, on the other hand, with all the same factors counted, costs about $1.95 per mile and is expected to last about 300,000 miles. "

man, you right wing loonies will believe anything. the prius-hummer bs was disproven long ago, but still the mis-information circulates
and if you don't like the sierra club, there are link in the article from the union of concerned scientists and mit.______________________
