Someday no more AC needed

'You think you've seen white? Oh, my sweet summer child, I'll show you white.'

This is an example of what can be accomplished when we use our money, energy and brainpower for something positive. Solutions to many problems are possible if only we would set our priorities straight.

So the future is staying indoors in stark white rooms?

If it could eliminate the need for ac here in South Louisiana I’ll go into the painting business.

I wonder how that would apply in the real world. Because most people want their houses to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter, if you painted a building that brilliant reflective white wouldn't it be that much colder in winter? Would buildings just have removable colored panels, so they can change the temperature regulation with the seasons?

And if this ultra-white reflective paint ever hits the market, I'm investing in sunglasses.

paint everything white.

I know an optics researcher at UCF that works on (among many other things) developing white paints.
