Cash for Clunkers Environmental Impact Statement

Looks like Cash for Clunkers is about to come to an end, and I bet no Environmental Impact Statement was ever submitted for it. Allan mentioned it in an email so I searched for one and couldn't find it.

The question would be: What is the environmental impact of destroying 700,000 functioning automobiles and manufacturing 700,000 new cars that average 7.5 miles per gallon more than the destroyed cars? They might have had some difficulty getting by the EPA guidelines and explaining away the well publicized EPA slogan, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Even the kids are being properly indoctrinated in Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
