Buy as many incandescent light bulbs you can carry. Then go go back
and get more( if there are any left).Before the damn politicians
change their minds again...


- CFLs are full of mercury.

NO the newer CFLs are very low {lower} in Mercury
'Content' versus older CFLs of just 2~5 Years ago.

- That's deadly.

MERCURY REALITY CHECK :

CFL BUlbs -versus- Incandescent Bulbs
* Electric Power Plants produce Tons of Mercury
when Burning Fossil Fuels to make Electricity
* The Equivalent Set of Old Incandescent Light Bulbs
(6~8) can actually put much more Mercury into the
Global Environment
* Then the One CFL that Replaces them All during the
CFL's Life of much lower Power Consumption

CFL's Save Power Usage

They contain about 4 mg of mercury, much less mercury than a coal
burning power plant spews into the atmosphere making the extra
electricity needed to heat up the air around your 19th century wizardry
bulb. *Instead of concentrating the mercury in an easily recycled glass
envelope, your coal plants distribute mercury for a thousand square
miles.


How do CFLs result in less Mercury in the Environment
compared to traditional Light Bulbs ?
http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partner...et_Mercury.pdf
* CFL Bulb : Total Life Cycle Mercury 1.6 mg
* Incandescent Bulb : Total Life Cycle Mercury 5.5 mg

- This is why it is unsafe to eat fish caught wild
- in fresh water where you live.

You may want to brush up on your meteorology and note that there are no
coal fired power plants upwind from your watershed. California's coal
plants are in Wyoming and Montana. We poison fish in the Great Plains.

Polar bears will arrive 'round X-mas. Get enough bearded and ringed
seals for them so they won't start braking into supermarkets.

Nah...CFLs have a -minimal- amount of mercury in them -- and if the CFL
isn't broken, it's a non-issue.

Just for the record, the standard 4 foot fluorescent bulb has a lot more
mercury than the CFL...and nobody is wetting their pants about them.

BTW, got any amalgam fillings in your teeth? They contain mercury -- and
most of us are still here to talk about it.

Had a tuna fish sandwich for lunch? Tuna is -full- of mercury.

IMHO, CFLs are near the bottom of the list of our mercury worries.

Just my 2 cents...
