Are Hybrid Cars a Viable Path into the Future?

I believe that hybrid cars is ONE possible small step for man kind towards a better greener tomorrow, it is not the only solution since we still got factories going, polluting the air, animals going extinct, icebergs melting and other astronomical crisis the planet is currently going through. Hybrids, in my opinion, are a United States thing since I think they are the no.1 consumer in automobiles so it's like a marketing plo to get people aware of our environment. Hybrid cars is one small solution as I heard they are trying to event cars without gas. At any rate, there are still people out there who simply don't care about the environment regardless of Nancy Pelosi's statement or whoever....I'm rambling.
