I was listening to the radio and I heard about this proposal of banning black cars in Calif. I nearly died when I heard this. The predominantly Democrats along with Gov. Arnold in the state of Calif. and the Environmentalist are all for this "Cool Color Initiative Act." This is their reasoning behind this: (an clip that I found from KFI 640)
A cool paints initiative. See, black absorbs. You wear a black shirt in the hot summertime you feel a little warmer than if you're wearing a white shirt. So the theory is that a black car is absorbing all kinds of heat, making it hotter inside your car, they're going to ban black interiors as well. If you're in the summertime and you're driving around with black seats and upholstery in your car and it's exposed to the sun you know how hot it can get in there. So you ban these colors. The governor (Arnold) wants to regulate fuel economy by mandating only lighter colored cars. They think these lighter colored cars will stay cooler on sunny days and will not use as much air-conditioning. They are serious, the California Air Resources Board.
