Why the US is the only country in the world trying to ban the superior
freon R-12 ???
If EPA and "Tree Huggers" would like to save the ozone layer, then they
need to ban the space shuttles.  The scientists are still debating that if
R-12 is really destroying the ozone...
Same question on RFG (re-formulated gas),  why the EPA and "Tree Huggers"
don't care about the pollution of the MTBE to our precious ground water?
In the mean time we have to pay more, use more gas which in turn generating
more pollution and worsen the air quality...

Reminds me of an expression a good friend, who happens to oversee a tree
conservation farm, but retired to this after a life as an A/C
servicer/installer says.
I quote, "Most tree huggers couldn't find one (a tree) if you blindfolded
them and dropped em in a forest."
Oh, did I say that.  Course we WV mountain folk can be a rather
conservative
lot (read that redneck at times), I just wish my state would quit
attracting
so damn many of those DC area tree huggers in as tourists to trample the
National Wildlife Refuge areas that I never used to see a soul at 15 years
ago.  So much for progress, after all tourism (the rape of natural
resources) is now our 3rd largest "industry."

(who is only sad I didn't buy 2 20lb canisters of R12 10 years ago instead
of one 10 lb canister, then I wouldn't be looking for these green o-rings
today.)
