I’m still waiting for the breaking news headline that people all over the country are just dumping those new-fangled curly bulbs in the trash without calling hazmat and we have a growing mercury spill epidemic on our hands which will cost billions to clean up...

Or the headline informing us that people all over the country are dumping those new-fangled curly bulbs in the trash without calling hazmat and it just doesn't matter, there is no appreciable harm, the relative volume in a landfill being vanishingly small. It just doesn't matter.

The same mind that invented the need to call hazmat over a light bulb is the same kind of mind that outlawed the good old simple incandescent bulb. The kind that incessantly seeks power but should never be allowed anywhere near it.

Well that may be the case as well! My point was the unintended consequences aspect of lib control freaks, so we’re still on the same page...I think.

Well you KNOW that it’s not the mercury that stays in a landfill that worries ecologists the most. It’s the mercury that leaves it.

To that end you’d think these bulbs would be encased in some kind of plastic skin.
