Kitman says that hybrid cars are not really all they're really cracked up to be. Although, the cars do have so much publicity as the environmental car, Kitman disagrees and believes that they really aren't that much better than normal cars. Kitman seems like he could be a little bias about the situation because he seems to be all about cars. For instance, he is the bureau chief for Automobile Magazine. To me this means that he is a fan of gasoline cars and isn't really intro changing the face of the automobile industry. He wants to convince his readers that the Prius, the first hybrid, is only environmentally healthy when driving around town, not when it needs to be driven on the highway. He also says that the battery pack that is used takes away from cargo space and therefore, takes aways the ability to carpool.
Moore, is as well trying to promote a view that is less accepted. Many people are against nuclear weaponry, but Moore writes to show that it isn't necessarily the wrong way to go. The article is based on the fact that the use of fossil fuels needs to be drastically reduced. The author narrows down the only available option to nuclear power by slowly refuting all other means, such as solar power, wind power, natural gas, and hydroelectric power.
