Buy a better house?

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 are:

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 w**re 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 f***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.

Ever notice how many people roll their eyes in disgust when you ask them if they took a class in statistics or research methods in college? This explains a lot of trends in society, including the reason opinion polls carry so much weight with the simpleminded, and why scientific research often falls on deaf ears.

Just to simplify this a bit, are you saying you do NOT think corporations have purchased legislation which benefits only themselves?

Who holds the patent on R-410a (Hint-Not DuPont!) So what?
