Stirring the pot (25 year rule)

I heard that June 07 is the cutoff. Is this correct? Pardon my ignorance if this subject has already been done to death. Who is the deciding force behind this decision?
It seems that the U.S.'s latest boogeyman is the condition of the environment. Are we not being environmentally concious by purchasing vehicles that are already constructed? How much energy does it take to create a vehicle, and how much carbon is released in the act? What happened to these sorts of vehicles before we Canadians got interested?Did they just throw them all away? Were they purchased by other peoples in other lands?
It would seem that this decision is based upon job security, not on waste management possibilities.
