found an article on katu.com about the "dust to dust" energy costs of the prius vs. h3.
"The Hummer over the lifetime of the vehicle ends up being less of a drain of energy on society in general than does the Prius,"
"He ranks the Hummer H3 at $2.07 a mile and the Prius at $2.87 a mile."
"It certainly caused a stir, even inside our own company," Spinella said. "We went back and spent six months going over all the data again because some of the numbers looked so strange."
"Spinella's strange numbers on the hybrid get their roots in Sudbury, Ontario in Canada. That is where the nickel for hybrid batteries is extracted from the ground. For years, it was laid barren by acid rain, caused by pollution belching from the smokestacks."
"From Canada, the nickel is sent for processing to China, which has dismal environmental regulations, then on to Japan for manufacturing, where energy costs are some of the highest in the world"
"Spinella did not stop there in his energy consumption calculations. He looked at 3,000 other factors"

"I don't like the Hummer people using that as an example to justify the fact that they bought a Hummer," he said. "Just as it's not for Prius owners to necessarily believe that they're saving the entire globe, the environment for the entire world, that's not true either."

it is a very interesting article: http://www.katu.com/news/local/7561002.html

 

To all the H2 Haters

This guy is hillarious

 

I walked up on a couple of guys this morning while I was backed in front of the CN tower, they were trying to get a good angle of them flipping a bird to my H2, I setoff the alarm on my H2 and they ran scared sh*%less, they didn't know what happened but the sidewalks were full of people and everyone was looking at them, I laughed my a$$ off, maybe I'lll end up there tonight!!

 

You should have LET THEM!!!

Then Your Rig could be FAMOUS LIKE MINE!!!!!

 

it may still be, sooner or later Bob, I am sure! There are a lot of haters in Toronto, and they love to give me the finger, I guess I bring out the best in them!

 

It is funny, who cares what they think? I think that site is funny! They think we are all environment raping bastards and in all actuality, if I wasn't driving the Hummer it would be another big truck with possibly worse MPG. I have to tow my horses. I drove a Dodge V10 for awhile that got about 9 on a good day but there was no website trashing Dodge trucks. I actually have some friends that were all upset when I bought my H2 and called it my Republican Mobile. They love riding in it! Mine is now OK because I use it as a Farm/business truck. Hypocrites...Silly, silly, silly.

Set up www.FUinmyH2.com and stop complaining!

 

I would drive a MACK truck if I had somewhere to park it!! Lave the go carts for the kids and let the adults drive the fun stuff!!

 

I emailed FUH2 a while back ago and asked them why the hate for just the Hummer and not other cars/trucks that drink more gas than the Hummers, I also asked them why the hate for the H3 that gets about the same MPG as most SUV's in its size class,,,,,,,, of course I got no response and they did not post my email on their site.

Just for fun Iregistered the domain www.fuh2haters.comtonight,perhaps I will build a website with pictures of Hummer owners flipping off their Home Page.

Any other ideas for my FUH2Haters website ?????

Cheers
Davyo

 

okay, I will flip bird to their site, no worries!!! get it set up, I know we will all submit a couple of photos!!!
