In the food industry the kind of refrigerants Trump wants to bring back aren't used. Supermarket display cases have gone to CO2 systems, and food manufacturing plants use ammonia. The manufacturing industry LOVES ammonia because of its extreme thermodynamic performance - meaning that if your freezer's cooling system is charged with ammonia you'll use less electricity to run it.
