Cash for Clunkers: Not Very Green


The City Fix has a good roundup of reporting on the environmental effects of the popular "Cash for Clunkers" program. The conclusion? That the program will have little or no effect on overall emissions.

The clearest presentation of the arguments is in a Washington Post article by Lee Schipper, founder of EMBARQ, and his colleagues.

On the evidence so far, the program is helping car dealerships a lot. The environment, not so much.
