On January 1st your air conditioner becomes obsolete.
Not by design.
Not because it doesn't work.
Not because a better system is supplanting it.
Because the government is mandating a change to a different refrigerant.
Again.
I am fascinated that with all the talk of democracy from some corners of politics they didn't even ask if I wanted the cost of a new system to triple.
They didn't even check to see if the average citizen could afford such a change.
I plan on writing my congress creatures about this passed-in-the-dead of night tree-hugger law.
Because we can still step back from the mandate, the companies are still allowed to make legacy components and refrigerants to get past existing warranties.
I don't think we will because the existing refrigerants are out of patent and the new stiff is still under one.
It's regulatory capture in the name of global warming.
Again.
