My tinfoil hat says that DuPont/Dow was behind all of that as their patents were about to expire anyway. Now nobody else can produce their products cheaply and they get to sell their new pantended "safe" replacement.
It's funny that when their patent for r-134a ran out they got it phased out for yf-1234.
yf-1234? That's dumb, r-134a rolls off the tongue. Also, my tinfoil hat agrees with you.
That's not even tin foil hat territory it's longstanding MO for chemical and pharmaceutical corps. The pattern is super obvious in pharma.
