Hybrid batteries spark waste fears
Ewin Hannan | August 26, 2008
AUSTRALIA has no ability to environmentally dispose of the batteries from the Toyota Camry hybrids whose production has been championed by Kevin Rudd.
Labor in Victoria, where the cars will be built, has conceded a "current hole" in the nation's recycling policies means there is no capacity to environmentally dispose of the nickel-metal hydride car batteries from the 10,000 hybrid cars to be produced by Toyota every year from the start of 2010.

OK, you goo goo, "true believer" environmentalists . . . :tongue: :dunno:
Hardly a solution, in any capicity, these goofy "alternative" motor cars.
Wouldn't it have been prudent to figure out how to effectively reprocess the waste product
before releasing all of these vehicles, en mass ?
Of course this is Australia . . . I'm certain we're just light years ahead of them . . .
not !
