R-12, an automotive refrigerant was banned as it pokes holes in the ozone layer over the south pole where they isn't any sunlight. This has been one of the longest coldest winters I can remember, not one snow melt over January, snowed Monday with brisk cold artic air, my natural gas company took this opportunity to nearly double the rates, paid more for gas these last three months than the entire year, the US has a known 4,000 year supply of natural gas so here we go again like back in the 70's.
Think I prefer "big government" controlling price regulation over crooked energy companies, price competition, my ass, just a handful of oil companies control all the engery in this country.
