"Yet another example is the mercury content of compact fluorescent light bulbs," CF bulbs use even less mercury than regular fluorescent bulbs for a given amount of light. Why does no one complain about those? "I've seen graphs comparing it to the amount of mercury emissions from dirty coal, but geez, anything is cleaner than dirty coal." I'd be dubious about those graphs. If all of the bulbs sold in a given year were to be incinerated at the same time, the emissions would still be but a small fraction of our total mercury emissions.
