October 4, 1993 R_12.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- This file shared with KeelyNet courtesy of John Chipps. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The following information about R-12 was taken from 'The Driving Force' a publication produced by Valvoline Oil and distributed to ASE certified Master Automobile Technicians. Valvoline nor ASE is responsible for the "opinion" portion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Summer 1993 issue Under pressure from the Clean Air Act to eliminate production and importation of R-12, DuPont, the worlds largest manufacturer of R- 12, will phase out production by the end of 1994. At least 65% of 1993 vehicles and nearly every pre-1993 vehicle with air conditioning requires R-12. 150 MILLION CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS USE R-12. THERE IS NO "DROP IN REPLACEMENT" FOR R-12 and IT IS NOT PROBABLE THAT WE WILL SEE ONE. Unless something is done to relax the short sighted and arbitrary requirements of the Clean Air Act you will have to roll your windows down when your air-conditioner needs service. Auto makers are working on recommendations to convert SOME of the late model cars. To convert to the new R-134 will require replacing several major components, hoses, flushing with R-12 (of which there won't be any!) and replacement of O-ring seals. Your air-conditioner system is also more likely to leak due to the smaller molecular structure of R-134. Cost estimate by industry experts: $800.00 You know how often estimates by "experts" are accurate. Cost of R-12 has already quadrupled but R-134 is still several times more costly. There are as many studies that show NO link between the Ozone layer and use of clorofluorocarbons as there are that suggest such a connection. While the Clean Air Act has a noble title and lofty ambitions, it is yet another in a series of poorly thought out, knee jerk reaction, short sighted and "We'll all have to give a little" STUPID pieces of legislation. Of course the folks that made the law won't mind because they also give themselves enough raises to be able to buy new cars and so won't be affected. The average age of a car in the US is between 7 and 10 years. These vehicles will either not be eligible for conversion or it will not be economically feasible to do so. Page 1 You may safely expect a similar fate for the R-22 that is in your home air-conditioning system and your refrigerator and your freezer, etc. ------ Write your legislators NOW. They don't always listen when they should but if the owners of 150 Million cars write, WE WILL BE HEARD! -------------------------------------------------------------------- source - STONEHENGE BBS [415] 479-8328 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard Note This interesting file confirms what we had heard many years ago. That the ecological "damage" allegedly caused by freon and other CFC's is in fact a contrived event to precipitate the FORCED USE of a much more costly "solution". This was pointed out a few years back in the file FUZZY1.ASC on KeelyNet. A major study was done by the Japanese which found the greatest SINGLE pollutant was jet fuel. The emission from just one jet in a day's worth of travel was more than all the wasted CFC's of the entire world for an entire month. And think how many jets are in the air daily and on a worldwide basis. Think how it would affect commerce and travel should this be brought to the major publics' attention or steps taken to reduce jet travel? The main problem with such "events" is that insufficient numbers of people come forth in an organized way to FORCE change. Rather, we just grumble, talk amongst ourselves and put up with it. I was kind of hoping that Perot might be a major catalyst with many of his group actually taking action from an organized standpoint, but it seems that movement has been considerably short-circuited by personality and a lack of cooperative-directed teamwork. We have had discussions with many other KeelyNetters as well as other contacts and friends who percieve a degree of directed manipulation from either the government or other - at present - unidentified sources. Many of us believe the purpose of these manipulations is to collect data which is being used to fine tune equations that will eventually be used in computer programs and be able to predict the behavior of large and/or targeted groups of people. These in turn will be used for at present unknown end goals. AT PRESENT, we can do little to halt these actions. Our best bet is to keep on sharing information and building experiments that might lead to the free release of free energy, anti-grav or health related technologies. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
