   Who knew there was a "dark roof" lobby? I sure didn't — but it seems every bad-for-the-planet industry has lobbyists.

   "The weight of the scientific evidence is clear: On hot days, light-colored roofs can stay more than 50 degrees cooler than dark ones, helping cut energy use, curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce heat-related illnesses and deaths."

   So of course those making dark roofs don't want cities or states adopting cool-roof requirements.
