if you dont have a super heat resistor there will be a balance between interior and outside of car. black completely absorbs light and as a result heat of light. thats why its black.RAIMIUS wrote:

Forget the myth about black paint and hot cars .. from over two years ago.
"The exterior of a black car gets hotter than a white car, but it does not get transferred to the interior any more than in a white car," he said. "Try this experiment: Take your hand and put it on the headliner. It's not very hot. The energy that heats up the inside of a car comes through the windows."Reading is good...Ottomania wrote:
It's a fact that black gets hot sooner and more than whiter colors, forcing people to use more energy in order to cool down their car. Since global warming is getting serious year by year, every compromise is important in order to reduce CO2 emission.
People don't care if the OUTSIDE of their car is hot.

of course you are right. I made that comment regardless of current government's attitude.Turquoise wrote:
If California was more serious about controlling pollution, they'd regulate emissions from power plants more rather than harass drivers and car dealerships.Ottomania wrote:

Not surprisingly, power companies have equally as much lobbying power as they have energy.
That is true, but how much heat is really transfered to the interior of a car?...and how much energy is really wasted by cooling a car by that extra bit?Ottomania wrote:

Now that I'm older and slightly wiser, please let me amend two decades of advice. Buy a government-issue white vehicle and get the windows tinted dark. It might not look great, but it will be cool in a real-world way.

An experiment should be made. Whatever, banning black cars is the last thing to check in to-do list. USA should sign Kyoto protocol first.RAIMIUS wrote:
