** Hi all,

Just got a Q &A style leaflet printed by Energy Australia headed:

" CFL SAFETY "

The very first question reads:

Q. Do Carbon Fluorescent Lamps contain mercury ?


Oh dear, have rabid Greenies forced lamp makers to change the name to suit
them ??

The local RiteAid (chain drugstore) is selling small-globe 7 watt
CFLs, 4-pack for $1.99. They also have high-power-factor dimmable
CFLs, cheap too. All are subsidized by the local utility, PG&E.
