The following are facts.

1) R12 is banned and not manufactured by all countries in the world.
2) R12 is OZONE depleting and contributes to global warming.
3) You cannot buy R12 without a EPA license. How easy to get a EPA license is procedural loophole and should be discounted.
4) R134a is comparable to R12 as per the scientific paper.
Executive summary:
"The results indicate that the performance of R134a is very similar to that of R12 justifying the claim that it is a drop in replacement for R12"

5) Conversion kits readily available from most Autoshops and I am very happy with my conversion(s).
