The article was article was written by an Action Network user not the BBC"! Really, can't you tell? But wait, it gets funnier... Using the figures from the article you cite we have: CFL - 6mg total manufacture + 2.4mg from power stations = total 8.4mg GLS - all Hg from power stations = total 10mg Now for the really funny bit - the emissions from power stations is for 100% coal, but we only use 30% coal in UK, giving revised figures of: CFL - 6.8mg Hg GLS - 3.0mg of Hg !!!!!!!!!! But there was no way you were going to spot that because you are a credulous innumerate! Thanks for the information, now there is no need for me to consider the shocking inefficiencies of Chinese brown coal power plants etc. T |
