What’s up with R134 prices?
Funniest thing is that R-134A was outlawed because a potent "greenhouse gas" (worse than CO2), so outlawed. It replaced R-12 which was outlawed since it threatened increasing the Ozone Hole. They don't talk about that anymore and turned out an unnecessary fuss. The media stories of the day about increased uV blinding sheep in Chile and deforming frogs in Costa Rica turned out bogus. Peruse the U.N. Climate site. In 2019, they were crowing "fixed it" since the Ozone Hole had shrunk. It became larger than ever in the years since even though manmade CFC's are gone, so they pivoted by rolling it into Climate Change, blaming cooler stratospheric air over Antarctica in Winter, due to CC causing air currents to change. It only exists over Antarctica in Winter when there is little sunlight anyway, so the whole fuss seems strange. 4x more chlorine is emitted by volcanoes than man ever did, and there is an active one in Antarctica (Mt. Erubus).
