These New All White Roads Can Cool Down Entire Cities!
When it comes to conserving energy, people tend to come up with all different sorts of ideas that could help. After all, reducing energy costs not only puts more money in your pocket also helps to reduce our footprint on the world. In this one, we check out quite the wacky solution that seems like it might not make a big difference but, in the long run, statistics in this video show us that it could end up having quite the impact. In addition, it isn’t something that’s all that complicated to implement, either. It’s as simple as laying down a top coat on our streets to make them more environmentally efficient and this simplicity could end up evolving into something bigger.
With the new trend, researchers are saying that if you coat roadways with a white top, there’s a good chance that it will begin to positively impact the globe and our bills alike. Because blacktop absorbs heat and keeps it there, it makes the environment a lot hotter. By simply coating black top with a white surface, the research tells us that if 35% of the streets in Los Angles were coated, that this one city alone could theoretically save $100 million. It doesn’t tell us in what period of time that would be, we presume it to be about a year. Even if it’s longer, $100 million duplicated across the country will quickly add up to billions of dollars!
Follow along in the video down below that shows you exactly how one would go about coating streets like this and what benefits it might have. Even withDebris and contamination like tire marks and fluid drips, it does follow that doing maintenance like this every once in a while could end up saving everyone money.Do you think that something this simple could go a long way toward putting cash back in the pockets of the people?
