"The California legislature is considering regulating the color of cars and reflectivity of paint to reduce the energy requirements to cool them. A presentation on the proposed legislation by the California Air Resources Board is below.

The problem isn’t the color per se, but the reflectivity of the paint overall. And dark colors just don’t reflect well, so they are likely out. “Jet black remains an issue,” says the report.

Anyone who’s ever entered a very hot car knows that it can be cooled down immediately by driving a few feet with the windows open, effectively neutralizing any color-caused heat issues before engaging the air conditioner. But whatever, black is evil.

The new regulations would be phased in beginning in 2012, so if you want that black car, you better buy it soon. More on Autoblog and CrunchGear."

 

Californians are so lucky to have Nancy!!

 

Nancy more than likely has a Black car, with her double standards.......

(I guess I will not be able to drive my BLACK SRT Challenger to California anymore....
I am so glad I moved out of the state years ago..................)

 

Let's see. You can't smoke there. You can't drive the color car you want. The place is broke. It has earthquakes ... why the hell would anyone live in California????

 

Has anyone seen the commercials with Arnold Swartsenegger asking if you have job skills... then come to California. Yeah, thats what I want to do. Those rules and regs are really out there. I really question the source... but on the other hand, it is California. Not where I want to be... but it looks like the feds are bringing California to all of us.

 

Just what we need to get out of a recession stupid nanny state laws that will fix nothing! Thank goodness that Gov Schwartselloutnegger can't run for president...with the current laws in place.
