Alternative fuel and technologies: Hybrids and E85 issues question.?

I am frustrated with the rhetoric and politics !
Does everyone on the hybrid and E85 bandwagon understand the following?? Comments?? Constructive comments!
Hybirds Carry a premium over a comparable gasoline engine. Negating any benefit in fuel mpg gained.
Hybrids have many more batteries made of precious metals lead and nickel not to mention acid, adding weight to the vehicle and creating serious disposal, ( hazardous materials) repair and replacement issues.
Hybrids Don’t get anywhere near the EPA estimates in mileage.
Ethanol Causes MPG to drop 20-30 %.Ethanol has less energy ( in BTU’s) then gasoline. Physics
Ethanol Absorbs water and is corrosive. This creates massive storage and transportation issues.( Although E85 cars are designed for this).
Ethanol Is very difficult to make produce much more so then gasoline.
Oh, and Bio-diesel is even worse then any of the above.
