This nonsense about mercury is just that!


You're an idiot.


Every fluorescent bulb and every neon tube has mercury in them. They
have been like that for decades. Let's close Times Square and Las
Vegas. Bill



I guess if we were to multiply by ten the number of bulbs being tossed
in landfills, the mercury levels around those landfills won't rise.

Right?




Compared to your average coal-fired electric generating plant,it's trivial.
