Surely someone could have come up with something else as good or nearly as good by now, something that worked as well but didn't have the baggage

Hundreds of pesticide formulas have been marketed, but none come even close.

We are going though the same problem now with the banning of Freon. This is another Green disaster. No other chemical works as well. The ones being used to replace Freon are not inert, and wear out seals. Freon Refrigeration lasts forever. Two "Scientists" at Irvine convinced people that it was eating up the atmosphere. This was done strictly with computer models, they have no hard evidence that it is getting up to the Ozone layer. There is evidence that it is too heavy to get there.

The chemical companies were happy to see it go, because they have a patent on the new gases. Freon patents had run out. So now all your refrigeration will blow out every 10 years or so due to the inferior gases being used. You can thank the Greens for this.
