Greenhouse gases. Like water vapor, and carbon dioxide?

[Stormin Mormon]

Hey, wait a moment. Refrigeration equipment has ozone depleting chemicals, not greehouse. Unless they started to use carbon dioxide and water vapor as refrigerants.

[Earl Grey]

...and the price of every item in the store will go up a dime so customers can pay for all that.

[Stormin Mormon]

So true. Corporationa don'r pay taxes. The raise prices to collect the necessary monies.

Boy uh boy I can tell you guys that I am glad I do not need to deal with = regulations any more! And the cost of Refrigerant explaining customer why is so expensive. In 2012 just before I retire I was paying for R-508B a 20lb.tank = $3000.00 what is it now?????? You loose charge out of system under warrantee your profit is just gone.

I wonder what could make all those regulations... oh yeah, it's the EPA... that's the agency that all of the left wing loons think is wonderful, right?

[Roger Blake]

I personally ignore all EPA regulations. Screw 'em.
