1. Well, obviously money. I'll say that's hands down to anything else. I'll ever concede this whole debate is over money and not lives.
2. 134a replacement - what was the chemical and was how was it cost comparative to 134a as a "friendly" refrigerant?
3. Yes, from the wikipedia article, it seems R12 is back in the market, albeit at a higher price from your findings. Is that a good thing?
