Hey, you're the one that heard or read a ditty about CFBs, then
totally got the gist of it wrong. I've presented clearly stated
arguments that you don't address, instead you simply dance around.
Either what I wrote about you above is accurate, or you're choosing
not to address that which proves your statements wrong. In either
case you get what you deserve.

This is a pretty good overview, though I won't vouch for it.
Good picture of all the crap in a CFL.

I read elsewhere that even if you broke all the CFL bulbs they'd put
less mercury in the environment than burning coal for incandescents.
Won't vouch for that either.
l don't think I have any incandescents left in the house or garage.
The biggest failure with this crap is having enough recycling
dropoffs. Around here it's at least a 10 mile drive to get rid of
hazardous waste, and they're open only certain days/months.
