Wonder how much extra energy is needed to produce the special bulbs???How much extra energy it takes to recycle them????? How much added pollution is created by mishandling them???? I for one would like to see a true comparison from start to finish before I make up my mind.

Oh and lets not forget the Chinese sweat shop stuff and unfair labor practices and ALL the other stuff???

That what we need to do is make MORE products with mercury. We are already getting chinas lead we might as well have their Mercury.

That's soo true. We went through all this bulb mercury crap through the late '70s early '80s. I think the same dopes who wanted to outlaw them then, are pushing them now. Besides the clean-up, how much energy/pollution does it take to produce them and how much is used just to ship them here? Besides, they're not natural light. Don't mind them at work but don't want them at home.

By they way.. ask the people (political position holding people) who proudly changed to these bulbs what they did with their old bulbs. They probably threw them out instead of donating them or waiting for them to burn out. Maybe they should push energy conservation and useful ideas for a range of people instead of a money making scheme.
