What exactly do you think is the mercury that gets spewed into the
atmoshere?? Non-raw mercury??
Non-sequitur. *Fact is, it takes more energy to manufacture the CFB,
so that releases more mercury into the atmosphere. *Couple that with
the fact that the standard bulb contains no mercury, and the CFB
contains mercury, and you're just wrong.

You said "RAW" mercury. As opposed to...

Non-sequitur again. As opposed to mercury that the device in question
doesn't contain. Derived mercury. Drive-by mercury. Collateral
mercury. In the end, the CFB contains mercury directly, and the old
tech bulb does not.

But can you address the issue at hand? The fact that it takes more
energy to manufacture the CFB, so that process releases more mercury
into the atmosphere. Couple that with the fact that the standard bulb
contains no mercury, and the CFB contains mercury, and you're just
wrong?

It's obvious you don't have the engineering chops to grasp all of
this. It's apparent in your initial incorrect presentation of the
mercury issue, and your dancing around it since you were called on
your mistake. That's OK, some are not cut out for the mental heavy
lifting. You shouldn't be too ashamed. That's why the pundits put
this bumper-sticker stuff out there... for the sheeple to have
something to hang on to. It worked for you. And it got BO elected.
It's highly successful stuff.
