R123. R134a, and R22 are still manufactured here and last time I checkd there
was still lots of recycled (remanufactured) R11 and R12 available in this
country. I have not checked on Halon but I suspect there is still some
available if you need to charge an old system. I would not, however, build a
new system for it now because it is expensive and will get higher til it's all
gone.

billion people) continue to produce thousands of TONS! of Freon each
year! If you don't live in one of the fabulous forty you could go
here to buy all you want.

I agree we should continue to do all we can for the environment but
don't beat your self up for firing off the Halon. -Elon
