The waste isnt green

Nor, is the mercury in the fluorescent lights.

Minor details. It't the perception that matters.

Fluorescent Lights' Mercury Poses Dim Threat

That is right wing propaganda.

The amounts in each bulb is tiny and presents no dangers

That is right wing propaganda.

Just as the dangers of nuclear waste are left wing propaganda.

Incandescent bulbs have none. They're all I use and all I will ever use.

That is right wing propaganda.

Then why do they require special disposal?

what about Drill Baby Drill in our OWN BACKYARD.

Oh that's right, the EnviorNUTS and people who want to BRING US DOWN, won't allow it.

Was that "dim threat", or "no threat"?
Mercury is a poison, and there is no denying that....espcially when we don't need to use them.

CFLs will actually cut down on mercury pollution produced by coal burning, and EPA agrees.

"By using less electricity, CFLs help reduce mercury emissions from coal-burning power plants, which are the largest source of human-caused mercury emissions in the United States," said agency press officer Ernest Jones. (Related: "Clean Coal? New Technology Buries Greenhouse Emissions" [May 2, 2006].)

Has anyone forgot about the ethanol in the gas idea on a major scale? Remember how it literally screwed up an entire sector of the futures market?

"Recycling programs are already in place in many areas," noted mercury clean-up expert Hogue. "Community leaders don't need to reinvent the wheel."

If recycling is not possible, used CFLs should be sealed inside a plastic bag and taken to a household hazardous waste disposal site, just as should batteries, oil-based paint, and motor oil, EPA recommends.

Web sites such as Earth 911 and Light Recycle can provide local disposal options.

I suppose this will be another CRISIS for this Administration to inject their idiot "visions" on us..

And nuclear power would produce all the emission free electricity we need without having to use mercury for light bulbs.

OH.....then mercury IS a problem.

 

[Truthmatters]

nuclear is part of the solution.

Its NOT the whole solution.


It has a byproduct that is very dangerous.

Wouldnt you like to see an alternative developed that did NOT give any other countrys the ability to have this byproduct which can be turned into a bomb?

Yes just like old paint

So... in an effort to save the planet we're using bulbs that are now deemed hazardous waste?

That's smart.

You fuckers slay me.

Didn't Obama and Biden run on coal and nucular?

Fear mongering.

I want a stable energy supply that does not need ever increasing taxpayer subsidies so it can pretend to run profitably.

Large scale wind is not profitable and is a blight on the landscape.
