RE: "Cash for Clunkers" on hold

well even a few "green" scentists have a different point of view...

This is an excerpt from an article I found on Wired.com

"Ditching your gas guzzler is a great way to reduce your carbon 
footprint, but if you really want to do something about global warming, 
get a used car. You'll be putting less carbon dioxide into the 
atmosphere. 

As Matt Power notes in this month's issue of Wired, hybrids get great 
gas mileage but it takes 113 million BTUs of energy to make a Toyota 
Prius. Because there are about 113,000 BTUs of energy in a gallon of 
gasoline, the Prius has consumed the equivalent of 1,000 gallons of 
gasoline before it reaches the showroom. Think of it as a carbon debt -- 
one you won't pay off until the Prius has turned over 46,000 miles or 
so. "
