From an article in the AFR today

Under a separate Net Zero Cities Action Plan being developed by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, all new housing would be required to have light-coloured roofing to reduce the urban “heat island” effect that was a problem in western Sydney in particular, Mr Stokes said.

It’s quite incredible that in a country as hot as Australia, we’re still building homes with dark roofing,” he told a Committee for Sydney audience.

“A policy switch to ensure that all new housing has light-coloured roofing would have an enormous impact on the urban heat island effect in our city, and I will be asking the Department of Planning to implement this as part of our Net Zero Cities approach.”

I honestly thought this was some kind of joke and had to read it twice.

Isn't the current discussion (last twenty years) about uptake of solar power ?

Smothering our roof space in solar panels ?

Aren't solar panels black ?

Did I miss the free LSD that came with the daily news ?
