You can read the articles but bottom line - EPA is forcing a huge reduction in the manufacturing of 134A result will be huge price increases so you might want to stock up now.

Wouldn't suprise me, they did the same thing in the late 90s/early 2000s with R-12 when 134a came out.

134a has already doubled in price in the past 2 years from the low of about $5 for a 12 oz can.
