NREA Denver.
A new "cool car" was tested to reduce the effects of sunlight created heat in our cars, reducing the need for auto A/C, and saving gasoline. A new auto glass (currently being made by PPG) is a sandwich of traditional glass with a layer of SILVER .000006 thick to reflect solar rays.
It will be available in all auto glass by 2000 to reduce interior car temps. by up to 60 degrees.
I measured the glass on my wife's S-10 Blazer, and after some math found that the amount of silver to accomplish the job on her car would be .28 oz. Based on 1996 figures, this would increase silver demand by 59,000 pounds a year. Now, If only 2/3 of all cars sold in the USA are A/C ready, that would be 39234 oz extra demand a year of silver. Now we know what Buffy & George Sorros Know!!!!!
