I suppose the basic premise is:
-Hybrids take more energy to produce
-Hybrids are driven (or are expected to be driven) for fewer miles before being scrapped
-These two factors more than offset the energy savings realized during vehicle operation (relative to conventional automobiles)
It's certainly a polarizing study - should be interesting to see how their predictions hold up.
