It would be a useful organization if the right people were in it. If companies were unchecked from doing ecological damage that wouldn't be a good thing. But right now they are doing more damage than good it seems because they aren't just enforcing the laws on the books but are trying to expand and push an ideology outside of their purview granted to them by the current laws.

This reminds me of the EPA ban on floral carbon refrigerants to protect the ozone layer in the hole that was growing in it. All of a sudden this is not a problem. Now we’re changing refrigerants again because of potential global warming. The prices of air conditioning and heat pumps have increased dramatically with no improvement in efficiency, the EPA needs to be defunded

@mithicash1444 28 дней назад

That is not a fair comparison. Globally, there was significant restrictions and reductions on ozone depleting substances, which included most refrigerants. As we moved away from this, yes, it is no longer a problem. Especially in the last couple of years, if I remember right, there was stats showing that the ozone had almost completely recovered to normal levels because of those changes.

@ron9381 27 дней назад

@@mithicash1444 The first part which restricted R11 and r12 that food freezing plants dump millions of tons and they took it out. Aerosol may have had effect, removing it from refrigeration and air conditioning at almost no effect and the science on the ozone layer is bogus at best.

@@dandyandy642 I was curious, so I fact checked you. Sorta correct. $92.4M over 10 years and spread across 10 regional office buildings. In several cases, the office space was originally rented, along with furnishings. They were required to buy new buildings and completely furnish them. There were new computer systems, as well. Part of the problem is really a complete government problem. They are required to use specific contractors and purchase specific furnishings, which are "designed" to exploit government funding. Most of the requirements were established in the Dubya era. Remember $700 hammers? The problem has not been fixed. Where's Rand (the hammer) Paul when you need him?
