Greenpeace doesn't see hybrid vehicles as a solution

Greenpeace protests Porsche hybrid announcement

Climate pigs. That's what Greenpeace calls the vehicles that Porsche produces, according to the Wall Street Journal.

"Greenpeace Thursday staged a demonstration outside the Porsche's Stuttgart, Germany headquarters on the same day the company gave a public demonstration of the new gas-electric vehicle."

"According to the group's spokesman, Guenter Hubmann, about 17 activists arrived in the early morning, bringing with them a pink-colored Cayenne disguised as a pig. A banner read, 'Porsche builds climate pigs'."

In addition, Greenpeace stated they do not support hybrid vehicles as a solution to global warming. Whether that means that Greenpeace simply doesn't support hybrids in general, or as a solution to Porsche's hybrids was not made clear.
