According to jpost.com:
The Environmental Protection Ministry confirmed to The Jerusalem Post this week that it has launched an independent study of exposure to electromagnetic radiation* from hybrid car batteries.
There have been concerns raised both here and abroad that the batteries might generate worrying amounts of electromagnetic radiation over long periods of time. . . .

This is exactly what I was talking about in my blog back in September. . . .
The geniuses of our generation seem to create a new "crisis" with each one they try to solve. To get away from the use of foreign "Oil" they have now created just as big a crisis with "precious metals" being used in hybrid cars and other products. Plus, its just another reason for America to be indebted to "Red China". . . .
Just look at the federal government subsidized corn "Ethanol" fiasco. . . .What did this fiasco create? A shortage and an increase in the price of corn for humans and livestock. Glenn Beck says this about ethanol "It actually takes more energy to produce it than the energy it provides".
Last winter, "Gelling Biodiesel" caused Minnesota school closings. The engines of the buses froze, so what was the solution? Idle the buses 24 hours a day during extremely freezing weather. . .Minnesota school children not only have "Snow Days" they now have "Biodiesel" days off.
Just like the big hype of manufacturing "Electric" cars. . . .Where do these environmental Al Gore wannabes think electricity comes from? POWER PLANT'S that run on coal, nuclear power, hydro etc. . . .
Let's not forget the wonderful concept of the HOV lane. . . .During rush hour you have two cars that are able to go 70 mph while a thousand cars are basically idling or just creeping down the freeway wasting gas, overheating and polluting. . . .duh
Oh yeah. . . .What about nuts that won't allow the forest service to clear out old dead trees and brush? This creates uncontrollable forest fires that burn for weeks which completely devastates the environment for months and sometimes years. . . .

*Electromagnetic radiation - radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge
What is Electromagnetic Radiation?
Many different things in our environments emit certain levels of low frequency radio waves. It is simply a type of energy however it is described as being emitted in waves. Some of these waves are considered dangerous, and able to damage our bodies even at the cellular level. In fact, these waves of energy are able to split our cells and damage them to the point of causing different sicknesses and diseases over time. Have you ever noticed how health care professionals ask about the possibility of pregnancy when you get an ex-ray? They also protect themselves by stepping out of the room before the ex-ray is taken. This is because ex-rays are electromagnetic radiation as well. This type of EM radiation is different from others due to a different wavelength.
What are the Effects of EM Radiation?
Some of the smaller symptoms that people get from EM radiation include nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion or a general feeling of 'blah.' You can feel extremely tired due to electromagnetic radiation and can even suffer from memory loss, ringing in the ears and more. Some of the larger or long term effects of electromagnetic radiation can include cataracts, retina damage, eye cancer, skin rash, nerve damage, joint pain, muscle spasms, digestive problems, blood cells which leak hemoglobin and brain tumors.
