Don't let the government fine you tens of thousands of dollars and put you in prison. If you still cool with freon you will become a criminal starting next year. Have your system replaced with a puron system soon!

My neighbor still uses freon. Next year will I be able to turn him in and get a reward?

where can i buy freon so i can hoard it?

You have to get a license from the EPA then you can buy it on ebay.
