For me, we should be worrying less about our "carbon-footprints" and more about the effect that gas prices will have on the economy. I think this whole "green" save the environment thing has because somewhat of a fad, and is really not the biggest problem we have. Realistically, Priuses are not going to be the thing that has some kind of catastrophic effect that will make or break the health of our planet.
The world is not in as dire of circumstance environmentally as people tend to believe. The world's forests have actually increased in size since the 1940's, and people live almost twice as long as they did a couple-hundred years ago. Whether a new plug-in Prius slightly increases or decreases my personal "carbon footprint" is not something I'm all that worried about. But I am down for anything that keeps more money in my pocket. If everyone had a little more money, to increase cosumer spending and in turn benefit the economy, I think that would improve people's individual lives more than the effects that the Prius really has on the environment.
