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.http://thewatt.com/node/175
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.


Yup. The big problem with that energy/mercury breakdown is that for
it to be true, you have to get *all* your electricity from coal. The
big breaktrough will likely be LED lighting technology. CFB is too
dirty.
