Reinstate Cash for Clunkers!
Revive the cash incentive for consumers to trade in low fuel efficiency and high pollution "clunkers" for high fuel efficiency and low pollution vehicles.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that global greenhouse emissions would increase by 50 percent by the year 2050 unless we decrease our dependence on fossil fuels.
Cash for Clunkers will decrease oil consumption and greenhouse emissions, benefiting the climate, environment, plant and animal populations, and human health!
High fuel efficiency vehicles also save people money at the pump. This is significant, as gas prices remain volatile and often high.
By increasing new car sales, Cash for Clunkers would also act as a stimulus for the economy and create much needed jobs.
