California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars
Legislation may by 2016 restrict the paint color options for California residents looking for a new car. Black and all dark hues are currently on the banned list. The California Air Resources Board says 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.

If you want to suggest better ways to do things go right ahead. It is when you fascists[1] decide that the stupid people aren't listening to you and decide to just impose your higher wisdom on them that I start the oil boiling and looking for a pitchfork. And since you probably can't understand the difference ignore this, it's for any semi-sane people reading.
Really, if the government can regulate the COLOR of your car in the name of carbon emissions is there any regulation on anything that some pinhead can't find some tortured logic to justify on environmental grounds? So aren't you really arguing for a totalitarian government because you are a bedwetting pansy who let Al Gore terrify you that the world is going to end if we don't abandon Western industrial civilization, eliminate 90% of the human population and return to a pre industrial feudal lifestyle?
Ok, that was slightly over the top but isn't that really what this is all about? We have turned into a nation of pussies unfit for self government because freedom scares us.
[1] Yes the word fascist is used correctly, not in the modern 'anybody progressives/socialists/liberals' don't like sense.

Then go Galt. Show the rest of us what FAIL really looks like.
You really think the Founders would have been outraged over paint colors?
