I don't think it is clear that C4C will have all that many environmental benefits - especially considering the extra auto manufacturing it will encourage. The number I've seen is that it will reduce gasoline demand by .15% assuming the expanded program passes and is fully utilized.<br /><br />Better to pay people to weatherproof, put up more bike racks, or invest in ways to make it easier to decrease electrical consumption (smart meters that tell you in real time how much you're spending on electricity), or whatever. Or just add a federal gasoline tax of $1 a gallon and an honest cap-and-trade program. But I digress.Brett Ellingsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688848180929546662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575824547117440798.post-22620560293425462972009-08-06T15:14:52.288-06:002009-08-06T15:14:52.288-06:00I think Glenn Beck is a friggin idiot and an embar...I think Glenn Beck is a friggin idiot and an embarrassment to the LDS religion, which he loves to exploit and capitalize off of even though he is the worst example of an LDS member. I'm shocked that they sell his lousy books at Deseret Books. And the worst part is, tons of conservatives eat this stuff up! Without ever checking or researching the facts for themselves. It really hurts my heart!

But I am not all for this Cash for Clunkers Deal. It takes off the market used cars that low-income people purchase, reducing the number of second-hand cars available for those who can't afford new ones. <br /><br />It's bailing out (again) exactly who congress just finished bailing out... Frankly I think the government should stick to running itself and keep its nose out of private industrySierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915847071961596679noreply@blogger.com
