The “starve the beast” legislators underfund the EPA to the point that there is no money for enforcement, and enforcement at the technician level is going to be really unpopular with lots of “The government fined me out of business” stories. The path I used to acquire refrigerant is a break in the chain that has been operating for years in the open and probably moved >100 tons of refrigerant. I was unreasonably disappointed that I didn’t have to provide my brand new EPA card number.
