On "HVACR Trade Groups Challenge EPA Refrigerant Rule in Federal Court"

The trade groups have a real gripe, but the EPA's got the legal ground here and everyone knows it. The complaint about moving goalposts is fair—contractors hate surprise deadlines, and nobody plans inventory around a shifting target—but challenging this in court instead of the Hill is a waste of resources that could go toward actually preparing your supply chain. If you're in the field right now, treat the rule as locked in, stock accordingly, and wait for the inevitable settlement that'll probably just shift the date by six months anyway. The court fight's theater; the real battle is whether your supplier can get you what you need when the window closes.
