I mentioned this "suggestion" by the unelected California Air Board or something in the global warming thread.

We really should have a thread called "Only in California..."

It sound like they took this moron's idea, and just changed it up a bit.

He said lightening roofs and roads in urban environments would offset the global warming effects of all the cars in the world for 11 years.

"If you look at all the buildings and if you make the roofs white and if you make the pavement more of a concrete type of colour rather than a black type of colour and if you do that uniformally, that would be the equivalent of... reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars in the world by 11 years – just taking them off the road for 11 years," he said.

lol, poor horse.

I remember those Dacia’s from Ussr, few "lucky" ppl had them in my part of the city, sure they weren't so lucky when parts were needed. but they had import car, which was very uncommon back in the days, even those ppl that had Volga’s(the best soviet car) looked at Dacia owners with a bit of jealousy.
