... And that doesn't take into account the loss of revenue for the aftermarket parts and repair industry that just lost those potential 700,000 vehicles to the junkyard. Nor the energy savings of recycling those parts through the re-manufacturing industry And, it doesn't take into account the improvement to the atmosphere, small though it is (if you really want a big improvement, severely restrict beef sales), nor the improvement, also relatively small in the viability of the auto manufacturers nor putting the breaks on a worsening job market. Hate to break it to you, but most of the usable parts of the clunkers were salvaged before the shredding. There was some loss to the secondary car sales market, since they were removed from the mix. -- Nom=de=Plume |

It's not a complete solution or even a good partial solution. It takes years to build power plants, and there's always the spent fuel problem.

Hmmm.... a tool of the Heritage Foundation. No mention of that in the article. As to the merits of reprocessing, if it can be done safely, I'm all for it. What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common? Democrat mayors. Sure is easy for you to morph from nuclear power to city's poor. Another tactic to distract from the facts? -- Nom=de=Plume |

We were talking about nukes and previously clunkers, then you attempted a strawman argument about inner-city poor. -- Nom=de=Plume |

When are you going to get serious about the actual problems. When are you going to stop talking about the problem and start taking action. The real solution is to stop eating so much meat. That would have an immediate and positive effect. The other things take years. -- Nom=de=Plume |
