What we need is a law which allows car owners to buy stock in a company
which is polluting , shut it down and receive credit to drive a "Gross
Polluter" . :)
While the credit system is unfair what gauls me is that a that a 1800
car can fails the inspection by being 10% over the limit , meanwhile a
5 liter car passing inspection wiith a 10% margin is still putting out
over twice as much poison per mile as the failed car.
This is a result of the using a standard which measures percent of a
cars exhaust rather than the total pollution output per mile. Sorta like
measuring fuel consumption for all cars on the basis of miles per
tankful.
