US Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday the Obama administration wanted to paint roofs an energy-reflecting white, as he took part in a climate change symposium in London.

....

For people who found white hard on the eye, scientists had also developed "cool colours" which looked to the human eye like normal ones, but reflect heat like pale colours even if they are darker shades.

And painting cars in cool or light colours could deliver considerable savings on energy use for air conditioning units, he said.

And with that, I'm going to drive my black SUV home and go burn a tire.

Wouldn't that make the house harder to heat in the winter?

Sounds racist to me. We need to PC this up some more.

I propose a quota system for all shingles: 70% white, 20% black, 15% brown and 4% other and 1% gay.

Like that bill a few years ago that suggested all roads should slant downhill to save on gasoline.

I ran across an article a few days ago about the roof color issue...of course down here, white is the way to go.

I want a "mood" roof that changes colors like those t-shirts in the 80's.

I'm old enough to remember those t-shirts AND the "Mood Rings" of the 70's.

First your roof color then your roof.
