Dallas will pay drivers as much as $3,500 to give up their old cars in an effort to improve air quality.

Here's why that's smarter than the usual way government tries to keep cars from polluting: Most cars that cause pollution are more than 10 years old, so targeting these will have the biggest bang for the buck.
