The Mercury in a CFL is a non-issue. Use of CFL actually releases LESS
Mercury into the environment than the extra generation necessary to power
incandescent bulbs.

In other words, if we've already made the decision that the Mercury released
into the environment from coal-powered plants is acceptable to power our
incandescent bulbs, the amount of Mercury in CFLs is more than offset by the
reduced power generation.

We can put all that "saved" Mercury into vaccines.
