There are boatloads of stuff the EPA messed up.
They demanded 410A refrigerant as more “energy efficient” but it eats compressors like there’s no tomorrow causing constant leakage. Just how is that more “environment friendly?”
Bring back the old R22 refrigerant that worked like a CHARM.
Then there’s those stupid gas tanks where I spill more gas than the old gas tanks.
Then there’s catalytic convertors where here in the Peoples Republic of NY, you have to shell out 1K to replace it in a Chevy Express Van to be “50 state compliant” (brought to you by Kalifornia and the PRofNY)
Lol. Nothing they can’t screw up. Fluorescent light bulbs that not only don’t provide the warm light of an incandescent but are a hazard if broken. Low flush toilets that take three flushes to work. Ethanol added to gasoline that will clog the carb in any two cycle engine in a few seasons of use.
And now I have a washing machine that produces great smelling clothes. Granted, this only because there’s not enough water to actually rinse out the detergent.
Progress indeed /sarc.
I can actually smell an older car in traffic now.
Not a tree hugger by any stretch but the catastrophic converter actually does work. However it doesn’t reduce NOx just the unspent hydrocarbons
Those gas cans are crap. Bought a few small 2.5 gallon jerry cans on amazon.
