After 15 Year Delay, Green Refrigerator To Arrive in U.S. -- Sort of | SolveClimate.com:
"The green refrigerator, which has been locked in cold storage since 1992, has finally found a manufacturer -- GE -- that is willing to start production for the North American market, but it remains unclear just how soon it will be ready for widespread consumer adoption. The technology is in widespread use in the rest of the world.
GE announced plans this week to release the first climate-friendly refrigerator available to North American households. The refrigerator, which is in development for introduction in 2010, will employ 'GreenFreeze' technology to eliminate the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), harmful greenhouse gases with 1,400 times the global warming impact of carbon dioxide. Greenpeace helped develop the GreenFreeze technology back in 1992."
