People have continually been taking significant action! CFCs were banned in 1987. High GWP refrigerants, like R-12 and R-22 have been banned, and even newer ones like R-401 are now significantly regulated: The days of bleeding an air cond

I’m powered by the James Bay project and live about three hours from Niagara Falls, so I’m a believer in hydro. Niagara Falls, to the unaware, uses pumped hydro during night and off-season to account for power dips for when tourists want to
