California Leftist Loons And Black Cars

The California leftist lunatics are at it again. Now they want to ban cars with black paint jobs! No kidding, this is not an early April Fool's joke!

This idea is coming from a so-called “cool paints” initiative from the 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 theory is that black paint jobs absorb more heat than cars painted in lighter colors, thereby causing more people to use air conditioning and reducing fuel efficiency. Blah, blah, blah.

Don't you just feel secure that your friendly "nanny government" is looking out for you?

So if you want a car with a black paint job, you'd better get it while you can!
