You mean like the mercury in CFL's? :-)

How does this compare with the mercury emitted producing the extra
electricity needed to power incandescent bulbs?

Quite badly if compared with sensible generation methods such as
nuclear.

To advocate nuclear, which generates highly toxic waste which needs to
be kept out of the biosphere for orders of magnitude longer than the
pyramids have been around, while criticising the Hg in CFLs, is definitely
one for the Mote & Beam department.
