Biden’s Cold War: New Anti-Air Conditioner Regulations are very costly

I am not familiar with the details, but this seems very concerning!

Is the senile and demented 46th President adopting some of the stupidities of the European Union in the name of the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion?

"... new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations are limiting supplies of these refrigerants – the result of a law targeting them as contributors to climate change. The production quotas have driven up their price about three-fold, and a recharge may cost $100 to $500 more than before these provisions took effect, depending on how much replacement refrigerant is needed.
The refrigerant quotas get much tighter next year, so expect repair bills to continue rising. In addition, new EPA rules aimed at those who service air conditioners – such as the one requiring refrigerants to be carried around in heavy refillable cylinders – will also impose costs likely to be passed on.  ...
buying a new system instead, but the news there is even worse. Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency standards add to EPA measures to create an expensive one-two regulatory punch. ...
Central air conditioners are already impacted while a proposed new regulation for window units is in the early stages, and in both cases the claimed climate change benefits are a big part of the agency’s rationale. Installers say central systems jumped by up to $1,000 when the new rule took effect last Jan. 1, and a total cost of $10,000 is no longer a rarity.  
Not to be left out, the EPA has a new proposed regulation that would put additional upward pressure on air conditioner prices by outlawing the most affordable remaining models in 2025. ..."
