So long to gas guzzler guilt
Quote:
For $160 you can turn a Hummer H2 into a zero-emissions vehicle. No tools or mechanical ability are required. That's the promise of a California company called TerraPass. It would cost less, of course, to turn a Chevrolet Cobalt into zero-emissions vehicle. That would only be about $40.
The idea is the latest implementation in the trading of "pollution credits." Those are the market-based innovations, introduced a few years ago, which allow smoke-spewing companies to buy and sell the right to emit certain amounts of pollutants into the air.
