That’s totally beside the point. Breathing smog is disgusting, regardless of the economic balance. It removed an incredible number of local point-source polluters from high population density areas. Cash 4 Clunkers was so successful that Seattle completed eliminated emissions testing, because not enough crapboxes were failing the test after they weeded out the vast majority of the clunkers.
- bluGill 2y agoMost clunkers were not eliminated. It only covered if you bougt a more fuel efficien vehicle so small cars didn't get covered and people who couldn't afford new cars were not covered. emmisions were already improving and tests rarely found anything so this was used as an excuse to eliminate waste
- Zak 2y agoI did not say anything about economics; I wrote only about environmental impact. It's hard to compare different kinds of environmental impact, but building a new car involves several, often with effects far away from the place where the car is used.
