The ObamaNator’s Minister of Energy is advocating painting stuff white to reduce “global warming.” The article points out that
Pale surfaces reflect up to 80 per cent of the sunlight that falls on them, compared with about 20 per cent for dark ones, which is why roofs and walls in hot countries are often whitewashed.
All makes sense to me. As we degenerate into a third-world backwater, we may as well look the part.
