Add to that hybrids date from 1997 but from the article:

"Toyota gets the metal from a Canadian company whose smelting facility at Sudbury has spewed sulphur dioxide into the air for more than a century"

In short, the premise of the article is false. There is more nickel in stainless steel than hybrid electrics.
