Title: California wants to get rid of black cars

CARB trying to get rid of black cars (http://"http://www.motorauthority.com/carb-trying-to-get-rid-of-black-cars-in-california.html")

Quote
the state isn't trying to get rid of one of the world's most popular car colors for aesthetic purposes - rather, its the environmental qualities of the color that have the board a little miffed.

We all know that white colored cars tend to stay cooler than black cars - this is because white can reflect heat, while black absorbs it. The reasoning behind the proposal is that with lighter car colors, car interiors will be cooler and thus drivers will use the air-conditioning less, thereby reducing fuel consumption and saving the Earth from certain doom


Quote
Paint companies are deriding the idea as nonsense, saying that CARB are trying to put a simple theory into a difficult application. With the practical benefits of such a proposal difficult to justify, there is also the aesthetic factor. In the place of black cars, the darkest color may be a violet purple, or even an extremely dark brown. Frankly, we can't really see Hollywood getting behind this one.

amen to that.

i just wonder if they cant sleep over the fact that when its in the 90's outside, it doesnt matter what color your car is, people will use the A/C..  they're power hungry assholes trying to dictate people's lives down to the very color someone may want their car to be.

No more black shirts either.  They'll get hotter, drink more water, and then we'll run out.

its not funny,
Even some pretty famous people know about things applicable to cars,,,,,,,,,,so long ago>

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." 

Samuel Adams


each and every day small pieces of policy come to life in bills that pass over a weekend or during a late show in congress.  all these pieces come together to form a monster as we have seen.

Black cars generate more heat and somehow become a carbon issue, justifiable by the pimps and prostitutes running things.

I could care less about black cars, biggier fish out there to fry,, like the Ameri Corp bill.  hide your kids!

I wonder how many officials drive black cars. I'm seeing a bit of a trend here.
