Product development opportunity: Safari Tops for SUVs! I'd love to be able to put a second layer with an air gap on the roof of my CRV. And it's already white! (because I made the stupid choice of buying a dark car in TX just once)

AC wasn't as widespread so people were smart enough to know that white cars don't get as hot in the sun. There's a reason that my Land Rover has a dual-layer roof with a white top on it, known as a "safari top". A bit of attention to air flow and heat absorbtion and life gets more comfortable. There actually is some logic behind the thinking here - a lighter colored car is going to be more fuel-efficient in an area with high solar gain due to the decreased demands on the HVAC system. It's a simple improvement. I know, I know, you can't legislate smart into people. But as ideas go, it's not really that terrible.

How long are we going to allow "carbon tax" to send all manufacturing to third world country's. where no restrictions exist? (anyplace with minimal to no emission regulation at all) This will increase the pollution world wide, and make the US less and less attractive to production of anything . Less federal tax money from manufacturing and loss of jobs.. Of course this will decrease pollution, due to our inability to purchase large SUVs or even gas for anything.. So I guess it is all good. In a pigs eye. This is just the beginning, unless we put an end to it now. Vote wisely. Regards C B
