"EPA Tackles Emissions From Refrigerators, Air Conditioners"

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is looking to cut down on emissions from refrigerators.

The EPA announced recently it is approving the use of new “climate-friendly” refrigerants that could replace those already in use in refrigerators and air conditioners.

This comes as part of the Obama administration’s climate action plan. The new rule will affect household refrigerators and freezers, restaurant refrigerators, and room air conditioners, the EPA noted."
