Listen lady, I studied thermodynamics at university as part of a chemistry degree. So I know what Kirchoff's Law is, thanks all the same.

California officials are hoping their latest attempt to stem the rising tides of climate change leads to a more socially conscious — and cooler — summer.

Officials in Los Angeles have been painting streets white to reduce the effect of urban “heat islands” and combat the effects of climate change.

The LA Street Services began rolling out the project last May, which preliminary testing shows has reduced the temperature of roadways by up to 10 degrees. The project involves applying a light gray coating of the product CoolSeal, made by the company GuardTop.

While each coasting could can last up to seven years, they are also pricey, with the estimated cost of $40,000 per mile, the L.A. Daily News reported.

its all sceincey so you right wing idiots wont understand


its a test of the idea

like any new project the cost will be the most in the beginning


you idiots don't realize how quickly the heat destroys the roads


its not just paint its sealer


if it works better than the resealing they MUST do every few years with a dark asphalt resurfacing and makes all the neighborhoods COOLER then it can be applied in a cheaper per mile cost if they decide to employ this idea city wide


and it will reduce the use of airconditioners in every neighborhood it is used in huh


the right hates news ideas


they cant think past their own noses


so they spew hate on any new ideas

its not paint its a cooling sealer

My father, uncles and brothers are all chemical engineers from MIT and Ga Tech. Where did you go to school?

Oh OK, so now you are resorting to willy waving and bathing in reflected glory. Tell me, is your dad bigger than my dad?

How does painting streets white help with "global warming" Einstein? So dropping the street temp from 120 degrees to a cool 110 degrees is worth $40,000 a mile? Tell us how many miles will it take to make any difference in the temp? You fucking idiots must have money to burn.

That's the point. The OP made a claim in the title that isn't supported in the attached text.

Do you think that white paint is a road surface ffs? Holy fuck, can anybody be more stupid than you, well apart from Desh of course.

It isn't white paint you idiot.
It is light grey pavement sealer.
It preserves the asphalt, greatly extending it's lifespan.
Got that, retard?

Nope, it sure isn't, moron. White is a reflector of INCOMING radiant heat. Black is an absorber of radiant heat. The best absorbers are the best emitters of radiant heat. So, black is intended to emit radiant heat GENERATED by the engine.

Move on, now, sonny.

Well if it is so fucking wonderful, why does it only last seven years? I bet that's bullshit anyway, just company hype that fools like you lap up.

SEVEN YEARS


oh fuck yeah that is way longer than the tar sealer they use


My hood is resealed like every four or five years

it will look so much cooler than the tar too

which just makes your comments even dumber.

Why? I don't believe it is either practical, cost effective or hard wearing. Californians can do whatever the fuck they like, just as long as some virtue signalling twat doesn't try to copy it over here. It's the same bullshit as solar panels on roads. You were creaming your jeans over that a while back, if I recall.
