>> if you offer them an incandescent bulb, which they'll need to buy FIVE of to equal the life of one CFL bulb, and which will COST them five times as much over their service life in energy costs, but is five times less expensive than a CFL bulb, the Dumbfuckistani will buy the cheaper bulb. And so why the hell is that the business of the government?

The CFL bulbs don't last so long and its not the governments job to tell us what we can and can't use to light our homes.

The math skills of the Dumbfuckistani are not well developed, or ever used. That country has a name "Washington, DC"

“Climate Saving” CFLs Now Found To Emit Deadly Cancer-Causing Vapours By P Gosselin on 17. April 2011 Shattered eco-dreams. (Photo credit: test4mercury.com I don’t have a single one of these damn things in our house, and I’m glad. Now the German online DIE WELT has a report here called: Energy Saving Lights Emit Toxic Substances. Hat-tip DirkH It was already widely known that CFLs released deadly mercury, but only if they broke, see here for example, or here on what to do if one breaks. Now, according to the German television news show “Markt“, which will air tomorrow evening at 8:15 pm, CFLs also emit cancer-causing fumes during their operation, principally phenol, which is highly toxic even in small amounts. DIE WELT reports that the NDR news magazine selected a random sampling of CFLs from various manufacturers and had them tested by an independent laboratory. DIE WELT writes: The official expert for lighting, Peter Braun, confirmed the magazine’s claims that substances can find there way in the air in a room. ‘Of special concern was that all lights that were tested emitted cancer-causing substances while they operated, and these happened to be the substances that occurred with the highest concentrations,’ Braun told the network.” One manufacturer said they would look into it, while another said they know of no concentrations that are a threat to anyone. Great! Now we are creating a global Love Canal to make believe we are rescuing the behavior of the atmosphere. notrickszone.com
