That guy is a jack ass and so are you, I bet he is paid by
incandesant bulb manufacturers, he quotes the KKK, he wants more coal
burning without advocating better cleaner technologies that would
reduce its pollutants, one of which is Mercury. Did you know that in
burning coal the energy used to operate a 100w incandesant releases
2-4 times as much Mercury into the air you breath today over the life
of the bulb as a cfl contains. You do realise that the inneficent
electric heater we know as an incandesant bulb actualy only outputs
3-7% of its energy consumed as light you see, and the rest is heat.
Now thats a good policy to continue, run 11, 100w incandesants and you
have a 1000w electric heater, run your AC more to remove that heat and
release more mercury into your air, thats dumb. Has anyone ever cared
about tube flourescents impact from Mercury, I bet they have many
times as much mercury in them.

I have no need to throw those cfls into the garbage, HD has a nine
year warranty and I am going to use it, I dont even need a reciept, My
HD charge has it on permenant record.
