The patent on R12 may have been running out, but that doesn't mean the CFC problem was not a valid one. What DuPont *did* do is agree to switch to the manufacture of different non-CFC coolants. Which they also held the patents for. Then they lobbied to have those substances legislated as the only ones that could be used in the US. As I understand it, ordinary butane works just as well. http://tinyurl.com/2guy3w > Now, maybe you should give a listen to one of my favorite libs... > > > http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2007/04/11/global_warming/index3.html Why would anyone care what Camille Paglia has to say about anything. Her opinions don't interest me in the slightest. Was there something she said you want to quote and defend?
