I don't really like this new bill about cool roofs. It seems like a waste of money to me. I'm not sure who benefits from it, but it doesn't seem like it's going to help me out at all.

Why do they want to make us pay for this? Who benefits from it?

I don't know much about this new roof thing, but it sounds like a waste of money to me. Why should I have to pay for someone else's roof to be cool? I have better things to spend my hard-earned money on. This whole thing just seems like another way for the government to control us and take our money. I'm not buying into it, that's for sure.

I think this bill is great because it encourages the use of cool roofs, which can help reduce energy costs and combat climate change. Cool roofs reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, keeping buildings cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning. This can lead to lower electricity bills and less strain on the power grid during hot summer months. Additionally, cool roofs can help mitigate the urban heat island effect, making cities more comfortable and reducing heat-related illnesses. Overall, this bill is a step in the right direction towards a more sustainable future.
