I want Diazinon back. These green insecticides don’t do squat.

And R-11 along with R-13 also.

As I learned from The G Man, once the patents expired, the companies wanted something more corrosive to get their patent revenue back.

Better to let R-11, R-12, and R-13, along with R-22, be made and have others make them better than the originals.

There’s a reason I loved Gordon Liddy on the radio. He understood what Derek Thomas called “truhth”.

Yes...Bring back R-12 & R-22 as these refrigerants worked well until someone(probably someone at the EPA) decided they harmed the atmosphere & were unsuitable. They were too cheap to buy I guess. This situation progressed since(if progress is actually regress) & now the latest refrigerant for automotive use is unbelievably expensive. By the way, it was always my understanding that the old R-12 refrigerant, when released to the atmosphere went DOWN...heavier than air. The people that caused the use of the now-available refrifrigerants probably should be taken to court for the problems they’ve caused, particularly in the cost of refrigerants. These are things I remember well, dealing with them as an auto tech during that time period.
