Imagine every light bulb in every home being replaced by a CFL bulb that contains toxic mercury. If broken these bulbs require extraordinary measures to clean up and when they burn out they have to be disposed as a hazardous waste. CFL bulbs are also mainly made in China.

Perhaps the new green jobs will be Haz-Mat disposal for CFL bulbs and mercury clean up services. Of course there will be class action law suits for cases of mercury poisoning and birth defects as a result of mercury exposure....more work for tort lawyers. I am betting that not one CFL will be found in Congressional offices, the US Capitol or the White House.

I bought a couple and they were too long for most of the fixtures.

The light color from CFLs makes everything look sickly.

What's going to happen to film makers and photographers’ lighting? CFLs won't do it.

These laws can't be that stupid. Otherwise they are planned distractions from more significant happenings.
