While it is more efficient, variable speed scroll compressors and fans is what really gives us the really high SEER systems of today.

They patched it with duct tape. If duct tape can’t fix it, you didn’t use enough duct tape.

The same thing that happened to the coming ice age in the 70’s/80’s, the y2k event, the global warming that would supposedly cause all of the coastline to be underwater, the climate change.... etc.
It’s all one big scare tactic. It’s based off of manufactured data in the hopes of scaring us all into allowing our freedoms and decisions to be taken from us and given to those who supposedly know better.
Oh, and acid rain.... remember how that shite was supposed to kill everything.

We shot a nuclear missile at it and the heat welded it shut.

The acid rain cured it. Then Global warming cured the acid rain. Climate change fixed Global warming. I believe banning assault rifles will fix Climate Change.
Yeah, but what they're not telling you is that it takes acid rain to fix the assault rifles.

LOL, no
It was the 3rd largest ever in 2015 at 28.4
In 2017 it went down to 19.6. Then last year it went up to 24.8
So no, its not 'fixed'. It fluctuates. Much like global temps. Its all based upon sun activity, not mans activity

Sometimes you have to look a little farther than dogma. On the whole, most of us benefitted from the switch from R22 to R410a in our A/C units. R410a is more efficient than R22 and is what has allowed for the very high SEER units we have available today. Sometimes change is good even if you don't like the impetus.
The market would have solved for this if it was truly the most efficient path.
Regulations in a non-monopolistic market increase costs somewhere down the line.

It fluctuates but the trajectory is down. Reducing man made chemicals was a benefit to the ozone.

These are the type of bullet points that sound great in a Macro 101 textbook but fail to take into account the huge number of variables and particularly time to market.
Adoption of something like a new refrigerant based A/C system in an unregulated market even if it is superior often requires a long runway to significant market penetration. There isn't a significant consumable backend to allow for penetration pricing. It requires both early adopters prepared to accept the risk and modest rewards due to early to market pricing. It also requires significant manufacturing concerns to devote lots of money to R&D and education/marketing to develop a viable market.
One case study to consider is the high definition digital TV. Prior to the digital mandate, HD TV moved along fairly slowly with hardware being very expensive and 16:9 HD content and delivery ramping up slowly. After the mandate the quality of displays went up prices dropped like a rock and HD programming and delivery became ubiquitous. I paid almost $5k for a 65" Mits rear-projection HDTV in 2002 today I can buy a 65" smart flat panel with a better picture in pretty much every metric (save black levels) for under $500. This market would not be where it is without governmental intervention. I think most baws on a sports forum would agree their life is better for it.

Stop using logic on these neanderthals. It's a futile endeavour.

Very pedantic post. Can you talk specifics instead of overly using the Econ 101 jargon?
What I'm gathering is that you're suggesting the government put in regulations to force R&D down a certain path and the subsequent risk taking?
That in itself pushes smaller companies out of the market because they don't have the capital to invest in R&D for new refrigerant relative to the bigger players, and therefore increases costs for the end consumer because there is now less competition, and companies then push their mandated R&D costs back down to the consumer.
It would be the same concept as the government mandating electric cars, or solar power plants.
You have to understand this, right?

Naw. Gender and sex are two distinct things.
