The coolant in the winter is still heated by the engine and if you sit at a light too long and coolant temp drops it can also start the gas engine to heat the coolant so you will always have heat. In regards to first responders the comapny I work for has created a Quick reference guide for the hybrid. www.hybridhazards.info The A/C operates on electric power so that you stay nice and cool when stopped at a light.

I live in Indiana so air conditioning and a VERY good heater and defroster are necessities here. How does that work in hybrid or electric cars? I have a question that someone here can surely answer.

There is only one small part - a peninsula - that has any melting going on. I think the warmest spot on Earth right now is the Oval Office - Obama likes to keep it really warm in there, even though the time that Americans can drive big cars, eat whatever they want and keep there thermostats on 72 year round are over. At least that's what he said during the campaign. Actually, the ice in Antarctica is growing. There is only one small part – a peninsula – that has any melting going on.

Actually, Jennifer, the melting of the Arctic sea ice (North pole) will cause no change in sea level, since the ice is already in the water. Maybe that's what your mechanic friend is trying to say. It is the shelf and continental ice from Greenland and Antartica that would raise sea levels. So all "melting polar ice caps" are not the same. I have to say, though, this winter has been very cold across the Artic and Greenland so that ice is getting a good winter of growing and thickening. Unfortunately, I don't think the same can be said of Antartica where they are having an exceptionally hot summer and much melting. Whose to say what will be the final outcome.....?
