The pro argument is "yes, hybrids are, by definition, good for the environment, and hence their owners deserve all the perks they can get.
The con argument: Giving these perks is in fact incentivising car use by single drivers, and adding to congestion in urban areas. The social gains of "saving energy resources" may be more than forfeited by the social costs of the increased traffic. A better social policy is to encourage transit and carpooling.
