From the Beacon - Secretary of State John Kerry said in Vienna on Friday that air conditioners and refrigerators are as big of a threat to life as the threat of terrorism posed by groups like the Islamic State.
Here we are in the middle of a dangerous heat wave, and our liberal blowhard SoS is lecturing us on air conditioners. Remember this moment libs when Trump wins the presidency.
How does he feel about his boss using an armada of aircraft to fly himself nearly halfway around the globe to sit on that Hawaiian beach each year?
We know the answer - only regular citizens need to sacrifice.
Kerry with his big gigantic Heinz sponsored friggin dome he's got, who the heck knows what he's talking about to begin with.....is he sponsoring huge windscreens for foreheads that go on for days......I don't know.........
It's getting more difficult and expensive to maintain HVAC systems due to EPA regulations. The goal seems to be to make it more complex and expensive to meet EPA guidelines and only affordable for the more wealthy people in society.
I'll believe more of this BS after he convinces the WH and Congress to turn off their AC. Perhaps he could start by turning off the climate control on his private jet.
Air conditioning is a great boon to the southern (and now northern) electric utilities that suffered from a lack of demand for electricity in the summer. Now they can burn all the fossil fuel they need to meet the demand. Great for them but it does create a huge amount of CO2 to be absorbed by the atmosphere. That is the hidden cost of extensive air conditioning. Sprawling absurdities like Phoenix and Las Vegas are the obvious costs.
the reason CFCs were banned is because the patents were running out, and dupont wanted to force everyone to use their new refrigerant R134a. now that the patents are getting close to starting to run out for R134a, there i going to be a movement afoot to replace that. you can tell when the patent runs out, that will be when the EPA requires anyone that wants to buy R134a to have a certification.
and if it is anything like the R12 certification, all yu need to do is go down to your local refrigerant supply store, get the "test" and the booklet that goes along with it, fill out the "test", and send it along with $20(miht be more like $30 these days) in the pre addressed envelope, and ten dyas or so later, you will get your certification to buy R134a.
its all a huge scam by the government and their partners in crime dupont.
This is probably the stupidest thing that Kerry has ever said. So what if they are a big threat? You need 'em down where i live.
