Turn in your gas stoves

[zahc]

Aren't they transitioning to propane? They already use it and I thought that was the future of refrigerants.

My brand new heat pump is R410A. That sucks.

The govt: We are going to force you to use a heat pump
Also the govt: We are banning the refrigerant those heat pumps use.

Can't patent propane 

Small manufactured appliances can use straight up hydrocarbons.  Isobutane and cyclopentane being the most common.  As I understand it, the residential market is likely to end up with hydrofluoroolefins, which is a fancy way to say "Flouranated alkenes".

Too bad ClF3 isn't a good refrigerant.

I'm getting too old and my customers too few for me to buy any equipment to do the new stuff. I've already turned down a few refrigerators because they could not get factory service down here.

Ammonia being pumped by a coal fired boiler and steam engine. Backyard scale of course.

Gotta keep Dupont in the green with their miracle new R-$$$ once everybody and their brother start producing the refrigerant du jour

Oh, look at that: a gas stove.

And she does it again.
At this point I'm starting to think it's intentional

Kamala Harris has been mocked online for the second time in two months after she posted a Christmas photo of herself cooking in a kitchen, featuring a gas stove.

Just last month Harris was roundly mocked when she posted a similar photo with her husband Doug Emhoff in their kitchen. Now, once again, the couple appeared standing next to a gas stove, this time for Christmas.

She is one of the "elites".  She gets a pass because of that.

The only ones professional enough to use gas appliances without killing Mother Earth.

This is interesting...

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just told the city of Berkley FU, your new gas connections ban is illegal, and no, the entire court doesn't need to hear it because it's illegal.

Of course, Berkley and the Biden administration, which was heavily in favor of Berkley's move and filed an amicus brief with the court, are screaming bloody murder. Or would it be green murder?
