The OLD ones run great. New refrigerants required to save the ozone run at higher pressures and puts more strain on the pumps and piping. You think those got upgraded to fit? Nope, now your fridge fails in 5 yrs just after warranty ends and heads to the landfill. That's sure more efficient and cost saving.

"Only mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun". Heritage Americans believed in "conquering" the natural world. I think there's a balance, but if our dreams of space are real, it will take "conquering" some truly inhospitable environments.
