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. Think of the number of nonpolluting nuclear plant that could have been built and truly eliminating coal fired plants. reducing CO2 means eliminating fossil fuels (gasoline,coal, natural gas, propane, etc) as an energy sources. |
