President Biden-Democrats Mandate Removal of Coolants from Air Conditioners.

I mean these government rules they're talking about probably won't be successful. Pretty much just trolling.

I work with sending techs out to fix a/c units. I see sometimes a refrigerant their ac uses is not around anymore and they are forced to buy new units. These systems cost thousands to replace just to use the new refrigerants. the refrigerant can also cost maybe 1 or 2 thousand to replace. its charged at around 10 to 17 per pound. so this is about to cost them more, i think.

Ok!
They they Must stop ALL experiments that use any Coolants!
They wast 1,000 of tons of the stuff.

hadron collider
super computers.
and to many more to say.

Can't do that down here. We had one in our house when I was growing up. The extra humidity made mold grow on the walls inside.

right in the middle of record setting heatwaves (or so they say)

no wonder msm is repeating the 118 degrees

Well boomer, what do you think all of these lawmaker's private
jets are doing to fix the problem?

The environmental group found that private jets emitted a total of 5.3 million tonnes of CO2 in the last three years, with the number of flights skyrocketing from nearly 119,000 in 2020 to 573,000 in 2022.

You know, all of those jet setters who fly around to Davos and places
talking about Climate Change don't seem concerned about their gross
contributions to the "problem"".

I kind of wonder about those flourine compounds in global warming....fluoride compounds usually cause global cooling effects when they get into the upper atmosphere I thought, lots of fluoride compounds are released by volcanos which causing a cooling of the earth when they get up into the atmosphere.

I think the proper term is refrigerants. I remember back in 2013 we had to retrofit alot if stores that had R408 409 and R22 with R407A and C. Crazy how R22 should of been banned by now but you still can get it for an arm and a leg.

when i was a kid delivering auto parts in the late 60's
i would deliver deliver declorodifloromethane for car A/C.
R-12.

It's a nice effort to convert vechiles to all electric but I do not see it making a huge impact with the amount of pollution and emmissions from the Military. Actually addressing it would require some serious changes.

Yeah it's going to be high 90's here today but the news stations are creaming 110. I'll still be in the shop working like I have since I was a kid. It's going to be hot because it's summer.

I just wonder if A/C will be available in a few years for any of us plebes. It's not looking good at this point.

The government is trolling.

Government Rules are more than just "trolling", aren't they?

Well no, it's just high level trolling. They fully expect this to not actually happen, and then it's an excuse to extract money from air coniditioning companies.

The fact is the you can't live in some places without A/C, and you damn sure aren't having refrigerators to keep your meat cool without freon... good thing they want us eating bugs.

Will they be refrigerated bugs or will they serve them room temp?

R-12 is where it all started. Coolants aka glycols is what cools Automobiles and Computers overall. If we really want to go electric then how do we cool Teslas,and prevent them from catching fire? It amazes me on how stupid we are becoming.

a reply to: carewemust

Biden's clowns haven't really thought this through... natural refrigerants and HFOs have a shorter lifespan in cooling systems compared to HFCs.

Throwing away eco-friendly air conditioners and refrigerators will be a thing in landfills and junkyards, because of their shorter lifespan... their fight against climate change is a joke.

The Biden Administration floated out another new one this past Friday....always on a FRIDAY when everything is shutting down for the weekend.

This time the target is something in our HOT WATER HEATERS that are destroying the planet.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) took to social media on Saturday to oppose a new proposal from the Biden administration, stating, "Leave us alone" about the new energy efficiency standards.

The proposal, released by the United States Department of Energy on Friday, would require the most common-sized electric water heaters to use heat pump technology, and would also require gas-fired instantaneous water heaters to use condensing technology. However, Massie expressed disapproval of the proposal, as such products "already exist in the free market."

"Leave us alone," Massie wrote on Twitter. "These products already exist in the free market. Consumers should decide whether the upfront cost of a heat-pump water heater is worth the possible long term savings. In many cases, the monthly savings never make up for the upfront cost of the equipment."

It's too bad Biden isn't more like Bernie Sanders. People would forgive his motives if he was spending tons of money on Americans.
