As cities heat up, reflective roofs could lower energy bills and help the climate. But dark roofing manufacturers are waging a quiet campaign to block new rules

    I don’t get why there’s a dark roof lobby. I would think they would make a range of light and dark coloured roof. It’s not an exclusive product.

      From the article they make it sound like even if the companies have light roof options that since they would see a drop in the EPDM demand they’d lose money. It’s always crazy to me that it’s cheaper for companies to lobby like this instead of pivoting the business. Lobbying is poison.
