For those of you who don't want to save money and energy, stock up on all the incandescent light bulbs you want to. I don't think they should have been outlawed, but CFL’s are great. The mercury issue is a red herring.

“In 1901, an American inventor named Peter Cooper Hewitt developed the first successful fluorescent light bulb. His invention closely resembled the bulb as we know it today, with a sealed tube filled with low-pressure mercury.”

Regular fluorescent tubes, that we all live with have almost
TEN times the mercury of CFL’s. Have we been worried about the mercury from these bulbs? Has there been a procedure for cleaning up after breaking one of these?

Take a deep breath ...... Don't let the MSM or Gubmint get you in a tizzy. Check into EVERYTHING. They are LYING to you about EVERYTHING. You are being manipulated. CFLs are a good thing. Inc. bulbs are fine if you like them burning out every week and you like to waste money and energy. This is America. You can make poor decisions if you want to.

I don't care if CFLs are sold and I really don't care how much Mercury are in either one of them, my problem is the Government forcing us on what to buy.
