The CARS program was credited with replacing 185,000 vehicles with new, cleaner cars.

In contrast, in 2008 use of biodiesel in the US reduced harmful emissions equivalent to removing 980,000 vehicles from the roadway. Everyone was driving their same vehicles, just emitting that much less pollutants by substituting biodiesel for imported petroleum.

Does it make sense to funnel billions of public fund to three failing US companies and a handful of auto importers or provide some support to over 170 independent biodiesel producers all around the country who buy product from thousands of American farmers
