HOA controlled?Wheres all the cars?
FWIW a dark shingle roof gets into scald temperatures in summer. I got second degree burns from working on mine for a day.I considered going light on my last roof replacement to reduce thermal absorption. Going a little lighter would have made almost no difference. To make a difference, the roof would have been close to white. It would have worked to reduce thermal absorption but damn would it have been ugly (roof is very visible on this house) and cost was way up so I doubt savings would ever have happened. If I had a flat roof, white would have made a bigger difference with less downside.
The coating in the article appears to make the biggest difference at night. I doubt it would have a noticeable impact on an individual house (feel or bills) but could help reduce the heat island in a city. With a few more generations of development, maybe it could be applied via crop duster and the city coated in it.

The group led by Barbacid at CNIO completely eliminates pancreatic tumours in mice with no resistance developing
In Spain, more than 10,300 cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed each year, making it one of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Its detection in the late stages of the disease and the lack of effective therapies mean that the five-year survival rate after diagnosis is less than 10%. But...www.cnio.es
Sadly, the hype often results in little hope as people fail to realize the stage of the supposed cure. Then there's the embellished version as the article gets passed on.Good news indeed but these news articles about breakthroughs that are published by the organization involved are also about raising money too.
