The best way to conserve one source of energy is to substitute another that is cheaper and/or more efficient. All the "greenie" proposals are neither.

Having just completed a 3,000 mile motorcycle trip, much of it in over 100 degree weather, I can vouch for the fact that BLACK asphalt is much hotter than GREY asphalt. Let's stop w/ the BLACK already.

It was only like 109 in my neighborhood yesterday, but the 5 days previously were just horrible with the monsoonal humidity and 114+ temps. Bleh, Alaska is looking better and better to me.

I just moved here from Seattle.
Believe me, I'll take 9 months/yr of paradise over 2 months/yr any day:)
In Seattle it's miserable for a full 6 months...marginal for another 4. White folks are GHOSTLY white...I got my fill of it.

Yes, the urban heat island effect is quite real and very different from global warming theory. But what the media and professor conveniently don't mention is that their preferred dense development makes the heat island effect far worse than low density suburbs with more grass and trees and much wider building spacing.

Even Eureka Ca was not spared from the heat wave. We set a record high of...
68 degrees on Sunday.

Not yet bannie. My wife's family has some land they have to sell first. THEN we'll limit growth.

It's always hotter in the city and cooler in the rural areas, makes sense to me.
