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.
When we first heard of this issue, an internal debate immediately began as to whether this might be an elaborate early April Fool's joke, but it isn't.
Just how much energy does the state think it will save? Enough to cover the regulatory costs?
Every time I think the state of California can't possibly get any stupider, it proves me wrong.
