Wrong, Freon breath. You need to read something published in the past
decade, or get out of the house more often. You probably still believe
the whole thing was fabricated by DuPont because of their R-12 patent
(which, incidentally, ran out more than 50 years ago.)

==========================

Poor logic.

The important questions a
1) Who holds the patent on R134a? (hint - DuPont)
2) Who holds the patent on R12? (hint - Not DuPont)
3) Who holds the patents on propane, isobutane and other
organic refrigerants? (hint - Not DuPont)

Think a bit about those answers and you'll possibly understand
DuPont's motivations in guiding the feds and the global community
in banning inexpensive and very effective refrigerants that DuPont
can't monopolize. DuPont wasn't particularly concerned about any
global health issues back around 1928 when it had all of us by the
short & curlies with its patent on R-12. DuPont has never been
concerned about anything except DuPont's P&L statement.

Of course the marginally sentient will claim that our leaders in
Washington aren't dumb enough to not recognize a corporation
acting out of self-interest. But those with an ounce of brains will
realize that Congress will follow any whore who will give them billions
of dollars of hidden taxation for them to control. The R-12 taxation
is a lot easier than going to the mats and asking for an income tax
increase. American taxpayers will let you rape them without much
of a fight as long as it is a hidden tax. And the HVAC industry has
few complaints since the new government regs create a de facto
super guild environment which attempts to exclude consumers and
"hacks" from practicing the trade.

DuPont is happy. Congress is happy. Techs are happy.

The public gets ****ed.

If you believe that DuPont is altruistic, then you'd probably believe
a Microsoft press release claiming that Apple computers cause
brain cancer. Ok, bad example - they do cause brain rot.

You aren't a tech or a company owner obviously. The tree huggers got us
into this mess.
But you would rather believe it's some conspiracy theory.
You should maybe get your brain rot treated.
