Ready For Roof Painting?

President Obama's energy adviser has suggested all the world's roofs should be painted white as part of efforts to slow global warming.

That's racist....

What about solar gain in the winter to reclain the suns energy, white roofs make for a cold winter.

Maybe this http://www.photovoltaics.com/ instead of painting your roof twice a year.

Some of the comments on the story were actually quite funny. Didn't realize that there were that many racists out there though. I think Obama's half cocked ideas and poor choices in his cabinet have actually set racism back in the country

OK, here's the deal, We will turn everything black/dark into white.

Paint the roofs white
Paint the asphalt white
Paint the cars white
Paint the africans white

While we're at it, we better paint the shadows white too.

olyteddy

What are you saying? White is the new black? Or is black the new white?

The dood had it right except he screwed the pooch when he said make'm white, there a several colors that will work tho.

Not sure how they will do it with the roads tho, especially asphalt.
Many of cities across the country can't afford to patch the pot holes now, how would we come up with funds to keep them colored.

The worlds gonna flip flop in 2012, maybe we'll find some new age idea's out of that life changing experience.

Where does the Government always come up with the money to fund their agenda? Us/we/I/you/me, and our unborn children/grandchildren. If not, they just make up some more play money.

Leo G

Leave it to the county Kalifornia to come up with something stupid like that.

90% of the roofs we do are white. Its called Duro-Last. They reflect 89% of light. They save you a ton on your heating and cooling bill. Plus anyone who puts them on get a great tax credit. We are selling them like crazy right now.

the last client I had that wanted to have a white roof, wanted to paint a flat tar and gravel roof.

She wanted to take a grant from the city to make improvements to her store, but did not want to put in any of her own money to make it ADA compliant. But wanted to paint rocks because it will save the planet

Nice stuff Considered getting into it myself.
