What a waste

This bothers me, too. I know people who could really use those cars. From Bill Dupray:

But one of the most asinine parts of the plan is that they take old cars, many of which were being used as functional day-to-day transportation the day before, and destroy them. A perfectly good and useful machine destroyed for political reasons.

All these low-cost vehicles are removed from the market. So much for those who can only afford lower-priced cars. Let them ride bicycles.

Has anyone calculated the cost of all this waste to The Planet? We shouldn't assume that the environment comes out ahead when all is said and done. Tossing something means something else must be produced to replace it. And production means carbon.
