## Resource

The Trump administration, through the EPA, is relaxing rules on refrigerants used in commercial fridges, giving businesses more leeway on using certain greenhouse gases. This shift, tied to the AIM Act, aims to ease the timeline for phasing out these gases, particularly benefiting smaller businesses like grocery stores. The new rule allows supermarkets and cold storage facilities to use potent hydrofluorocarbons until 2032, a departure from the Biden administrations stricter limits. The administration seeks to balance flexibility with broader environmental goals. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
