Los Angeles painting city streets white in bid to combat climate change

Yes to point out just how gullible and easily persuaded you are. I can well see why you'd find that embarrassing.

????....they made a lake so they could build something that floated on it to make less energy than the energy it took to make the lake?.........

There are lots or new ideas, innovations and possibilities for diversifying energy sources and reducing environmental impact of overuse of fossil fuels. I think it pretty exciting.

Yes they are called fourth generation nuclear fission based on thorium and molten fluoride salt technology, and eventually nuclear fusion. Meanwhile CCGT is clean, totally dependable, dispatchable and available 24/7. What's more the world is awash with the stuff.

Yes the dozy mare somehow thought that sticking a small 40 megawatt solar plant on a lake is somehow comparable to the impossible task of putting a 2 gigawatt solar plant in the middle of the Indian Ocean. You have to be pretty gullible to fall for that, of course living in California helps.

The point is to reduce urban temperatures. Black roads suck up a lot of heat, a white coating can be a lot cooler. Although white colors (like ice) do reduce global temperatures, of course the effect of coating LA roads would be incredibly minimal. Someone may have mentioned that but it's a huge stretch.

Nuclear generation can't be scaled up and down though. It always produces power, you can't just turn it off.

I posted a link to an article from last year. There were marked differences in road temps between the white roads, and black roads a few blocks away.
 
Even a good shade tree can reduce temperatures..


68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit
the temperature of the surrounding environment; technically, the temperature of the air surrounding a power supply or cooling medium; abbreviated ABM.
Ambient room temperature ranges from 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Word Origin.
based on ambient meaning 'surrounding'

Yep, it makes the area cooler, more pleasant to live in. Probably reduces air conditioning costs.

Yep..which reduces the need for electricity when demand is typically the highest. By default, it will indeed contribute to the task of slowing climate change.
