lorentztl,

It is your right to use Duracool as long, of course, as you live in one of those states where it is not illegal. (Hmmm, R12 is not illegal to have in an air conditioner in any state.) It is also your right to take a chance on contributing to the contamination of our remaining R12 supply.

I stated my position regarding snake oil refrigerants and you stated yours. What's wrong with that?

BTW, I totally agree that the "R12 scare" as you correctly call it is based on junk science. This was all a hoax put into us by environmental "extremists." I am an environmentalist to a degree, but I am not an environmental "extremist." As a landowner, I feel a responsibility to see that it is taken care of, and not polluted in any way. This could make me be termed and environmentalist. The R12 being outlawed was driven by "extremists."

Have a great day,
