I don't think you read the chart very carefully. It clearly states
that R-22 will be available in the US for ACs made before 2010. And

legally available IN THE US.


The point is simply that liberal environmentalists have gotten the US
government to forcibly create a completely artificial shortage (in the
US only) of an economically very valuable substance.

Not to mention the fact that Dow allegedly had
their snout in the trough. Their patents had
expired on the 'bad' freon. Since the 'good' freon
has fresh patents and sells for a lot more than
the 'bad' they stand to make a buttload of money
off the deal.
