California Air Resources Board. CARB wants to mandate the phase-in of heat-reflecting paints on vehicle exteriors beginning with the '12 model year, with all colors meeting a 20% reflectivity requirement by the '16 model year. The governor 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.

Are they serious? So what's next? Do they want control over what color underwear we can wear? After all, darker colored clothing will cause us to get hotter as well, right?
 
Lighter color cars reflect more heat out into the atmosphere. OMG not we will be contributing to more global warming by heating the atmosphere with our light colored cars !!!!!!
 
That's one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time. My white truck gets just as hot as my son's dark blue Toyota. And even if there was some truth to it, what about the people in northern California?, it gets cold up there.
