It may absorb less heat from the sun but is it going to eliminate humidity in the south? If not, then it isn't going to work here.

So being the most white is the coolest thing?


This isn't going to end well for Purdue. I see many protests.

In the deep south that paint will grow a film of algae and mildew quickly, and not be useful at all as a replacement for AC.

The whitest paint in the world has been created in a lab at Purdue University, a paint so white that it could eventually reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning, scientists say.

And pray tell what color would keep us warm in the winter?

Guess these people pushing for no A/C

Those pushing for no a/c already stink; hippies.

Too bad we can't put them on a space barge where they do their homo shite as it flies into the sun (or some other star).
