The only problem that I have with CFLs, is folks throwing them out and ending up in landfills. They have mecury in them.... heavy metals leach into the ground and the ground water, as well as rivers and lakes. That is not a good thing, and will do a lot of serious damage to the environment.

The government is real good with comming up with all kinds of stuff like that, without considering the consequences. Where are the recycling centers for CFLs and flouros?? There are none around here.... There *might* be one in New Orleans, or Mobile..... but nowhere within a 220 mile round trip.
