Biden’s cold war: Anti-air conditioner regulations keep piling up
Fox News ^ | 05/02/2023 | Ben Lieberman

Listen to this article 0:00 / 3:36 1X BeyondWords Think Biden administration regulators have it in for gas stoves? Just wait until you learn what they have in store for air conditioners. In fact, many homeowners are already finding out first hand. It’s all part of team Biden’s prioritization of climate change policy over the interests of consumers.

Now that air conditioning season is commencing across most of America, nearly 100 million homeowners are turning on their systems for the first time since last summer, hoping they get cold air. Those that don’t will need repairs, which may require replacing refrigerant that has leaked out of the system.

Unfortunately, new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations are limiting supplies of these refrigerants – the result of a law targeting them as contributors to climate change. The production quotas have driven up their price about three-fold, and a recharge may cost $100 to $500 more than before these provisions took effect, depending on how much replacement refrigerant is needed.

Brandon is unifying the country. To us southerners, making A/C harder to come by is as much a declaration of war as taking away gas heat is to northerners.

It’s amazing to watch Americans become submissive little communists. Some grumble and whine a bit, but they will continue to vote for communists.

The mortgage tax on those with good credit? For the most part, it will hit those young liberal professionals. Well done comrades.

And for those of you thinking the transplants from blue states will give up their communist voting ways... ha!

This could cause the South to rebel again.

This is what happens when smart people are forced to comply with the dictates of stupid people. Be nice if there were some way to force libs to live like thus while the rest of us live normally. Unfortunately, any change that benefits us benefits them.

Deep State’s frontmen are stupid.

Why post from (yellow) Fox News and give them money? WTF is your malfuntion?

I guess some people need have Lachlan Murdoch actually a$$-rape them before they quit patronizing their own sworn enemies.

What’s the problem? They are electric devices. I thought the left was pushing for all electric?

As with all these diktats, start with Government buildings and employees for ten years. Take gas heat and air conditioning out of DC for a decade, and let’s see their opinion. Then we can have a vote to see if we allow it back.

The number of hits coming from Free Republic is a rounding error to Fox or most any other large web site.

This shit must stop. The communist takeover is going on and our reps investigate, which does nothing to stop this clown show.

Only until all things are electric and there are no alternatives. Then they will come for them.

Same with energy. Once wind and solar is all we have, they’ll become bird killers and desert habitat destroyers that need to be shut down.

My a/c went out during California’s last heat wave over Labor Day. It was 108 and I had family coming in, some elderly. Too hot to sit outside.

I called and fortunately the regular company I use sent out a repair tech in a few hours (he said he had five homes to go to that day).

Turns out I needed refrigerant in the system - even though I’d just had it serviced. Needed as part as well - cost me $2,000. I didn’t have a choice at that point and it was a matter of our health, not just comfort.

Unbelievable relief when the system kicked back on and I was able to cool down the house.

My son and his buddies were just complaining about this in my back yard - they all work in tech, have great salaries, but buying a house in So Cal (where they work) is impossible, even with two salaries. ALL are conservatives and hate lefties.

This will make it even harder.

Because of the MSM Biden protection fortress this stuff is going to be locked in and it won’t be known it has happened until the people are living in the misery Biden is inflicting on us. By that time he will be re-elected or even he’s not it will be too late.
