Don't let's be alarmist. R-134a is not going to be outlawed. It's going to be phased out of use in new systems, and at the same time its production is going to be phased down. That doesn't mean it's going to become illegal to use, or unavailable—keep in mind you can still get R-12 and you can still charge an R-12 system with it, even 22 years after R-12 usage in new vehicle A/Cs was stopped.
