Re: Caution About Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) EDITED

I use them everywhere, for 15 years now.

Please keep in mind that I support your individial choice to not use them, go ahead, its not a big deal to the planet for two people, I am just worried the impact of your decision on other people.

I am concerned that some of this backlash is not based on solid facts, because it os coming from the same people who brought you global warming denials - energy sellers.
Also, Ken Adachi at Educate Yourself is a denier for another reason altogether - he thinks that it is a farce because "Gore is a Jew". Maybe Gore is Jewish, I dont know and don't really care, it make no difference to the non-rascists here.
So don't believe everything you read there.

Is there mercury in every CF lightbulb? Will they all have to be like that?

This is very serious, as CF lightbulbs will be a big help to solving global warming - we have to get smarter than to still be using light sources that are only 3% efficient [3 percent!!] like incandescents are. 10 times that will save massive amounts of pollution, so I hope you guys are not just out on a lark here in your refusals to use them.
