Clunker program a small dent in pollution impact
The cash for clunkers plan may cut near 700000 tons of CO2 per year, a drop dwarfed by national emissions. Officials expect about 250000 junked vehicles and 72 million fewer gallons of gas annually, with the program praised for stimulus but criticized as inefficient for climate goals.
