As you know, they did that with R-12, but for $20 or so, and an hr. online, a complete know-nothing can take an open book test and receive a 609 certification.

This test focuses only on environmental laws(at least the one I took from Macs 8 yrs. ago did), but requires no legitimate knowledge of a/c systems.

The govt. left a back door in place for those who wanted it bad enough.

If R-12 was REALLY the earth-killer that the tree huggers have painted it up to be, it would be gone.

My 2 cents.
