California seeking to outlaw black cars
« on: March 26, 2009, 10:45:28 AM »
Just figured I'd post this bit of proposed legislation:

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/25/california-to-reduce-carbon-emissions-by-banning-black-cars/

Quick summary is that since black cars absorb more sunlight and so get hotter, the AC's have to work more to cool them.  To reduce emissions CA is looking to ban all black and other "dark shade" painted cars.

After being stationed in California for a few years nothing regulation or tax wise coming out of that state suprises me enough to rate an raised eyebrow.  If there is any possible way to regulate it, tax it, charge a surcharge or user fee, its being done or in the works.  Oddly enough they are one of the most broke states in the US...go figure.

As a former native of and now a refugee from the Peoples' Republic, I can honestly tell you that NOTHING would surprise me.

Before I was 15, I could tell a Sannysin (wear orange) from a Hari Krishna (slinky on head) at 100 yards.

Made me think(I know, I know) Maybe they could make a pigment that is like the sunglasses that turn darker in the sun. only bassackwards. At night they could be black, and in the sun they could be clear! or better yet just disappear! yea thats the ticket!

Outlawing black cars? A sure sign that they are running out of things to exercise control over.

That would require about a 10" cavity. You could probably do it for less with foam though. Dale

I think they need autos made out of highly polished stainless steel. They would blend in with the background better so they would not be an eyesore. I think the tree hugers would really like it, and they would reflect the light rather than absorb it. They may blind other drivers, but it would help reduce the population - another good thing for the environmentalists.
