A little light on the subject

And what else is new? “Light bulb moment in California: Should it ban the common bulb?” Sure, why not? It can only do good…but wait; are there any problems with disposing of these new bulbs when they finally do burn out? (Yes, they do fail.) I think there is; I believe they contain mercury? Has anyone addressed that question? And of some small significance is the problem with making those tiny, tiny chandelier lights in a fluorescent bulb shape. Can you imagine your Swarovski crystal chandelier all lit up with 60 watt fluorescent bulbs?
