In a move that will likely get California's consumers in a huff, impending legislation may soon restrict the paint color options for Golden State residents looking for their next new vehicle. The specific colors that are currently on the chopping block are all dark hues, with the worst offender seemingly the most innocuous color you could think of: Black. What could California possibly have against these colors, you ask? Apparently, the California Air Resources Board figures that the climate control systems of dark colored cars need to work harder than their lighter siblings – especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours. Anyone living in a hot, sunny climate will tell you that this assumption is accurate, of course. In fact, legislation already exists for buildings that has proven successful at reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers.

I'm glad that California Legislature is taking stock of the really important issues that affect the state, and trying to do something about it...

They hate all that oil beneath their feet too...
 
Sad, when WE have to bail their state out, just because they have all that horrid oil under their feet that they don't want to pump out of the ground...
 
You would think they would want to rid themselves of all that toxic black goo... Thats worth enough cash to pay their bills...
 
Another big DUH from the left...

That DOES make sense, but that's insane to ban black cars. I don't see that happening anywhere.

That's how the people who want to disagree but are incapable of doing so in an intelligent manner respond to posts now.

Generally, that's correct. Sometimes, however, a facepalm is the only answer you can give.

I would need to read the wording of the legislation before jumping on the train against it. If it is some sort of immediate ban, that would seem silly. It is probably a limitation on the amount of black cars a dealer can sell with an open-end so the number can be dropped over time, or an added burden tax when buying a black car.

I, for one, would never buy a black car living down here, or a car with a black interior.

It makes the inside sizzling after only a few hours.

That's ridiculous.
 
How about banning all of those multi million dollar mansions, and private jets in Cali?
 
Oh wait that's right...eco Nazi's need those...

Actually, in the case of this specific thread, I think I have to agree.
