Oh & BTW, the mercury in CFL's is in the ballast not the bulbs, fool. I'd tell you why mercury precipitated hot spots, not inhalation are the health problem but we've exposed enough of your ignorance for the time being. > > >> >>href="http://www.epa.gov/mercury/">http://www.epa.gov/ >m >>ercury/ >> >> >>According to EPA's 1999 National Emissions >>Inventory, coal-fired electric power plants are the >>largest source of human-caused mercury air emissions >>in the U.S. These power plants account for about 40% >>of total U.S. manmade mercury emissions.
