If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    I was reading about a study that showed how much the climate temperature would rise if every house had solar panels on their roof. I then immediately thought, hey now, what if we had less asphalt everywhere, would that not affect overall temperatures as well?

      What was the conclusion? Asphalt shingles and slate shingles are already dark, so I’d imagine it would impact covered lighter roofing more.

        You have a good point there. The study was done using simulation models, so I should look into what they took into account and maybe who funded the study. You can read it here
