    Good question. But what about the mercury release by talon0720 2007-04-26 07:07:37

The amount of mercury used in the CFL bulb and released by power generation over the life of the CFL bulb is actually less than the mercury released in power generation over the life of an incandescent bulb. Then consider that a CFL lasts for the lifetime of several incandescents . . .
