It would be impossible to repaint all existing structures, but I've always thought a mandate for white cars and roofs was an excellent idea... From a practical standpoint. Especially since a white car stays several degrees cooler in the sun, which means less AC use, which means less fuel use.
Oh... And mandate concrete roads. They're more reflective, and the harder surface improves fuel economy.
