CFC's were used as a refrigerant, and are not an energy source. They are a heavier then air gas that is claimed, by some, to go into our upper atmosphere an assist in the depletion of this ozone layer annually during each poles winter.

How are cfcs used in aerosol?
CFCs were the compressed gas that was used as "spring" to push the can contents out of the container. CFCs have been replaced with HCFCs as a consequence of the Montreal Protocol.
What are some suggested causes to the depletion of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer was depleted from the actions of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) released into the atmosphere last century. CFCs were used in aerosols and fridges and escaped into the air where the winds gradually moved them all around the world and up to the ozone layer. There chlorine broke from the CFCs and destroyed the ozone.
Does energy float in the atmosphere after it is used?
Energy can not be created nor destroyed.
How was solar energy first used?
by plants and the atmosphere
What is the impact of aerosol sprays on the atmosphere?
Aerosol sprays used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), which were destroying the ozone layer. Thanks to the Montreal Agreement, the whole world agreed to stop making CFCs and the ozone layer is now slowly recovering. Scientists hope it will be fully restored by around 2050.
When were CFCS used?
CFC's are used now also. they are used as coolants.
What does fluorocarbon mean?
A family of inert, nontoxic, and easily liquified chemicals used in refrigeration, air conditioning, packaging, insulation, or as solvents and aerosol propellants. Because CFCs are not destroyed in the lower atmosphere they drift into the upper atmosphere where their chlorine components destroy ozone.
Is CFCs are used in the production of tubeless tires?
yes
Is CFCs used in spray?
Yes, CFC's are used in sprays. They are used in aerosols too.
What is CFC-?
It is short for Chlorofluorocarbon. It is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. Many CFCs have been used as refrigerants, propellants, and solvents. The manufacture of such compounds has been phased out under the Montreal protocol because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
What were the main uses of CFCs in the 20th century?
It was used in refrigirators.
Where are CFCs produced?
CFC's are produced in refrigerants. They are used for cooling.
