Want to save the Planet??

First:
What? fluorescent bulbs are NEW? NO! CFL's are new? NO THEY ARE NOT! Only using as a direct replacement is NEW. BIG DEAL!

Second:
EPA points out the use of CFLs actually REDUCES OVERALL MERCURY in the environment, even locally.

The primary cause of mercury pollution is coal-fired power generation, which is responsible for 56 percent of the electricity used in the United States. According to the EPA, more energy-efficient incandescent bulbs lead to the emission of 10 milligrams of mercury, compared to 2.4 milligrams for a compact fluorescent bulb.

Compact fluorescents also contain substantially less mercury than other household devices. For example, a mercury thermometer contains 500 milligrams of the substance, compared to four in a fluorescent bulb. (Mercury thermometers have already been banned in many countries due to their mercury content.)

"There is less mercury emitted from these bulbs than from a coal-fired power plant that will continue to [power] incandescent [bulbs]," said Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute.

Third:
Plus you can get CFL's BRIGHTER than years ago, so that idiotic point is OFF. Actually BETTER color spectrum. NO PROBLEMS.

Fourth:
I pay less than $2.00 for CFL's equal to 100 Watts, using only 21.They last much longer that their 19th century distant relative, which wastes up to 95% of their electricity.


Lastly and even more important:
You are WAY BEHIND. LED's, NOT CFL's, are the "new bulbs". Lasting LONGER and using EVEN LESS energy than CFL's with NONE of your silly "talking point" SPEW.
