Freon was a banned item. Same reason it went out in car AC?

Sure it was banned but look at the price before it was. excise tax.

You can still buy R12 and it is not even as expensive as you would
expect for a "banned" item.
I still have about 30 pounds of R22 and I was surprised it was not
more valuable. I thought I had a gold mine.

I also wonder it the whole thing wasn't just a scam. The ozone
recovered and there is no indication that CFC production (and release)
world wide actually dropped. As I said China said they were going to
build a billion R12 refrigerators and most of the 3d world, where
recovery will be rare, is still using it.
I see R12 and R22 for sale in China for a little over a back a pound
With a recycle machine going for close to a grand, who would bother
recycling it?
BTW now that the ozone hole everyone had their panties in a wad over
is going away, they decided it was a global warming gas and maybe we
have too much ozone.
