Additionally, if hybrids become as widespread as Segways would need to be to have an effect on the environment, hybrids would be able to be even more helpful to the environment by making selling power back to the power grid useful. This could significantly increase efficiency of power plants by not requiring them to have the capacity for greater power output than needed.

Efficient personal transport embraced by the population will lead to the redesign of cities, eliminating the need for roads and automobiles altogether when traveling short distances. The Segway HT isn't the answer, it's the first step.

No car at all is far better than a hybrid, isn't it?
