The end of life cycle disposal of any battery is certainly something to be concerned with, but not from a nuclear waste perspective. To be sure, we use Li-ion batteries in everything from cell phones to laptops.

All of that said, the Prius and other hybrids are a total scam - until the automobile industry can deliver reliable and affordable full-electric cars, I won't be convinced. Ask anyone who has owned one and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone getting more than 40 mpg in mixed-use driving. Their claimed mileage can really only be achieved at certain speeds under ideal circumstances, and guess what - how many times have you been passed by a Prius doing 80 on the freeway? I rest my case.
