On the site since 1995? That’s 2 years before FR was launched. And you lurked all those years until last month? BS.
Anyway, your position on CFLs is grossly overstated paranoia, given that old style straight tube fluorescents have been around since the 1940s in homes, stores, factories, and public places in huge quantities and you can count the number of fatalities they have caused on one hand with fingers left over.
Seriously, you’re not seeing the forest for the trees. Sure mercury is bad stuff, but if fluorescents were that big a source of imminent danger, we would have been seeing deaths left and right for many decades. We have not seen that. Worry about something that’s an actual problem, please?
When I think of all of the critical political issues that have come and gone over the last seventeen years (nineteen, if we're counting back to 1995), I have to agree. Above all else, CFL lightbulbs prompts you to post?
Mercury is an insidious poison. Look into it and get back to me. It doesn’t
Kill you instantly but does severe damage like nuclear ions.
And the fact is these things ALL fluorescents are terrible for the eyes to work under everything. Its time to change. It is important. It’s where everyone has to work play shop it’s called lights And putting millions of tons of mercury into our world and the EPA blatantly lying about these thing for 50+!years and shilling for GE has got to stop
