Greenhouse gases. Like water vapor, and carbon dioxide?
Hey, wait a moment. Refrigeration equipment has ozone depleting chemicals, not greehouse. Unless they started to use carbon dioxide and water vapor as refrigerants.
...and the price of every item in the store will go up a dime so customers can pay for all that.
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?
I personally ignore all EPA regulations. Screw 'em.
Right-winger-dingers don't like clean water and clean air?
When I grew up, the air was polluted....and by God it made us tough.
