I read the article it says the lobbying organisation behind air con, etc, doesn’t actually want this. They’d rather investment went towards newer tech as supplies of the old materials are dwindling.
Fuck dem everythings
If no one else joins them then wouldn’t systems made in the US be difficult to export to any developed countries?
The US doesn’t actually make anything besides idiots though do they?
Yes, please, let’s continue speedrunning the end of life on earth due to a runaway climate change event.
Something something the Rapture.
At least I will be saved!! 🙏✝️
Like the whole administration’s motto/mission statement is literally just “Fuck you, that’s why.”
Bigger hole in ozone so we can all be orange.
This set of gases was developed because they don’t deplete the ozone so much, but they’re incredibly potent greenhouse gases, which is why there’s an effort to end their use.
Right. One issue is that the US’s glidepath towards low GWP includes significant HFO usage (which is a PFAS) rather than speedrunning natural refrigerants which are the only sustainable long term solution. So we’ll likely have more warming, but less PFAS as a result of this, along with higher costs and more uncertainty. The focus needs to be on natural refrigerants though long term.
But of course they did 🖕🤬🤮
