This Bulb

What an enormous mistake!
1. these bulbs DON'T last longer
2 They contain mercury & require new laws for cleaning up if one breaks
3. They are mostly made in china, without US standards
4. SINCE WHEN IS IT THE GOVERNMENT"S RIGHT TO DICTATE YET ANOTHER DETAIL OF OUR LIVES!!!??
5. The jury of world science is OUT on whether global warming or cooling is actually occuring...and our energy use is agreed to be almost untraceable in the picture!

This debate should never exist you fools.....the government already passed a bill banning all Edision Light Bulbs by the year 2012. CFLs will soon be the only choice, get used to it and stop bitching, unless you stock up on old ones.

3 years from now, there will be no mercury inside them anymore. UN is looking into a bill to ban mercury from CFLs by then.

Somehow I don't feel any better knowing the UN is going to be passing laws for me to abide by.
X - X - X <---- Good-bye freedom. It was fun while it lasted.

......... it's a regulation for CFL manufacturers. Are you a CFL manufacturer?

The UN should keep its business out of our light bulbs and go back to pretending to be peace keepers.

Yes changing over to CFLs will save the world, I've commented in some video of this same crap content of the flawss of CFLs and I just can't be asked right now, I'll let all you little CFL Supporters beleive this crap because essentially that's what it is

how can you prove this statistic, as an electrician the discussion about fluorescent lighting causing cancer seemed to cease and we now push it into homes as well as offices. lighting makes up the smallest load in a house installation. stoves and cooking would be a better approach. where are the warnings about the mercury content in the lamps and the appropriate disposal?? if people are worried about their babies and everything we would not be creating another asbestos situation for our kids!!

sadisticjesus : Having sex with retarded women is federally illegal. Go somewhere else!

Ambientalist idiots!
