[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] Well, since the tangents have been established, I'm going on record as being a happy compact fluorescent user. We've had 'em in our house for fifteen years and they're perfectly fine once you get used to them. The only places we don't use them is in lamps that are on dimmers or that we rarely use. We have one in our living room that is still burning bright after more than nine years! I think the mercury concerns are overblown. The amount is tiny. A lot of people have full size flourescents in their kitchens, and they have more mercury than the little ones. I've broken flourescent tubes a few times in my life and never got poisoned. The compact fluorescents are durable enough that they probably won't break if they fall on carpet, and on a hard floor they're easy to sweep up safely. There's nothing to be afraid of, except fear itself. But saving energy is a good thing. I remember all too well the energy shortages of the '70s. I'm surprised so many conservatives have a problem with conserving. [/QB][/QUOTE]
