VW may be forced to clean the air its cars polluted

Volkswagen may have to do more than fix half-a-million cars implicated in an emissions-cheating scandal: it also could be forced to undo the environmental damage.

Environmental and consumer groups are pushing the federal government to consider a long list of possible reparations, from a VW-funded program to build the infrastructure to power electric cars to high fines to cleaning up five times the amount of pollution released by the dirty diesel engines.
