re: Trump to roll back Biden-era refrigerant rules in push to lower grocery costs

I'm not sure the administration understands that the damage has already been done.
See light bulbs or gas cans.
Manufacturers have already started to phase out the old R-134a systems and are already making the newer blended refrigerant systems that use the 2L flame rating refrigerants......
they can still keep making parts and compressors then for r-134a but the change will likely still happen, just slower....
and the new refrigerant is not as energy efficient as the older refrigerants, but more "environmentally" friendly

You’re an idiot
thank you, i truly value your opinion....... :rolleyes:
both systems have a closed loop piping on the evaporator side of the chiller. That is the Chilled water side (CHW). an air cooled chiller used air directed over the condenser coil to reject heat to the atmosphere.(no much different then that residential DX unit) a water cooled chiller plant will use condenser water sent to a cooling tower for evaporative cooling as its means of rejecting heat to the atmosphere.
A water cooled chiller plant can be designed at less then 0.7kW/ton where as the Air-cooled chiller plant will be north of 1.5k/Ton. for a 50,000 Ton plant . at 0.13 per kw/hr that is a difference in $43m+ a year in electricity costs.
a water cooled system is the correct design. and sence most of the water lost is evaporating, and not going into the sewer treatment plant, its not really a big issue as the water here in LA with eventually make it back into the aquafers via rainfall......

Closed loop cooling dumbass
Not doing a closed loop at 40,000 tons…..
An Air-cooled chiller is 450t each on a larger unit. A water cooled chiller can go much higher and are way more efficient. Better then 1/2 the kW/T of electricity needed.
To do a 40,000+ ton system you are doing water cooled chillers with cooling towers, with their evaporative cooling for the heat rejection to the outside.
Towers are normally 3.0 gpm a ton (but can be sized for 2.0 or 2.5 gpm ton) and between drift and evaporation about 30% of the water for the condenser water system is lost at full load.

Total Capacity: 4 million sq ft (approx. 2,250 acres).Power Density: AI-optimized facilities can operate at \(200+\) watts per square foot.Cooling Load Calculation: High-density data centers require roughly 1 ton of precision cooling per 50-100 sq ft.Estimated Tonnage: A 4-million-sq-ft facility could require roughly \(40,000\) to \(80,000+\) tons of cooling.Water Usage: To support this cooling, the facility is permitted to use up to 23 million gallons of water daily, with projected annual usage between 500-600 million gallons.
For comparison, LSU’s campus is around 25,000-30,000 tons of cooling at peak load in July/august. The water usage is likely evaporative cooling from the cooling towers used by the water cooled chillers needed for HVAC.

Trump doesnt have a plan, unfortunately
Maybe the plan is to keep it shut down and force China/EU/UK/India to step up and pressure Iran.
If it doesn’t hurt, then they have no skin in the game. Only pain for the US is short term fuel prices and associated transportation cost on products. Other will run low on gas

If it’s truly an issue, then white democrats in blue states should sit out elections to let more blacks seek office…….
Since that is not happening, then this is just a “fight” for less R seats and more D seats…..

Since it's late in the election process, this seems bush league. But you know what? I don't care.
Like they ruled last Monday after the Louisiana decision the justices said it would be unfair to make Louisiana use an unconstitutional map for another election cycle.
Remember we used to have a “jungle primary” in the fall. So we are used to having a late election.

If republicans can use the Supreme Court for their redistricting efforts, the democrats should be able to as well.
Republicans (LA AG) appealed a lower court ruling that forced them to create a 2nd minority district. Supreme court ruled that the votign right act section 2 did not call into play the creation of a district solely based on race.
Virginia republicans appealed to the state courts that the process the state legislature followed was against the process in the state's constitution, and won a restraining order, dems appealed to state supreme court. state supreme court ruled that the dem state house did not follow the constitutional process for adding an amendment to the ballot and ruled the ballot measure void. they did not rule on the merits of the redistricting.
why would the US supreme court take up a case pertaining to a violation of an individual state's constitution?

Based on a May 2026 report, Venezuela obtained its highly enriched uranium (HEU) decades ago from the United States and the United Kingdom for its RV-1 research reactor, which operated from the 1950s until 1991.
