Trump reverses refrigerant rules, citing cost savings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Trump administration has reversed Biden-era regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants used in grocery store and air conditioning equipment. President Trump stated this move would lower consumer costs by delaying restrictions on refrigerant types.
