I Don't Remember Being Asked

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.

    1. Wait! How were you able to figure out what I was talking about without me handholding you through it and providing enough links that Barney could follow it?

      208SilverMiner couldn't. He couldn't even figure out how to log in with his Google account to make his (deleted) rude comments. I know he has a Google account because he used it to make an entire blog so Aesop could live in his head rent free.

      Personally, I don't think I need to go farther than stupid can explain.
