    The article had a video and I could only stand watching it for a couple of seconds. It started with a Russian sounding guy saying they were going to show why a Prius is dangerous to the environment. Then, they showed people laughing as they rolled coal at electric car drivers.

    Is that their argument? “Electric cars are dangerous to the environment because people driving electric cars make me spew tons of smoke into the atmosphere”?

    What’s next? “You recycled your can. That’s bad for the environment because that forced me to spill this toxic waste into a playground. All those kids got sick and it’s all your fault for recycling!!!”
