The United States scrapped 14 million autos while buying only 10 million, according to a study by the Earth Policy Institute.
As a result, the country’s car fleet fell to 246 million in 2009 from a record high of 250 million in 2008. Lester Brown, president of the EPI, in a statement acknowledges that the recession is one big reason for the 2 percent auto fleet decline, but also argues that rising gas prices, urbanization, concerns about climate change and declining interest in cars are also forces cutting the car fleet in the U.S. http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/study-americans-scrapped-more-autos-than-they-bought-in-2009-is-this-a-trend/3117/ a.r.l.a.n -------------------------------------------- Star Trek Online (DVD-ROM) - US Edition for sale from Play-Asia.com free shipping to Indonesia http://alturl.com/s72e -------------------------------------------- Star Trek Online Special Collector's Edition from Play-Asia.com free shipping to Indonesia http://alturl..com/9yf6 -------------------------------------------- Get your new Email address!
