Second-generation hybrid Prius heads for fast lane source: Motorway.com | Nov 02, 03 | submitted by Ryan

California - California's new governor drives a Hummer, but a better indicator of the Golden State's future in transportation might be the Toyota Prius.

Qualifying for California's Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) and an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) status, the Prius might soon earn the right to travel in the state's High Occupancy Vehicle lanes with just one passenger - the driver, of course.

Nov 02 The Prius gets incredibly high marks for its minimal output of smog forming emissions. Does anyone know how it rates in its output of greenhouse gas emissions?

Could vehicles like the Prius be the best answer to global warming? Hydrogen Fuel Cell techology maybe too far in the future to deal with the situation now. Besides, the question about where we will get the hydrogen to fuel these vehicles hasn't been confidently answered yet.
