How's that green doing for you?

Well, it might provide jobs for American firms to clean up the mess after enough Chinese are poisoned.

Ever broken a light-bulb? Me, too. That’s a good enough reason not to let one of those “green” bulbs anywhere around me law be damned.

Yep. A Trillion of these things filling up landfills or being ‘Recycled’. Just about as bad as the Ethanol Myth. And these nut-jobs oppose Nuclear.

We made it illegal to produce them here. Now we get a less safe lower quality product from China where they just say screw the environment.
For the sake of disclosure I like the bulbs but the chinese quality is pretty low.

Between that and what the battery of a Toyota Prius does to the environment,I am sure glad I am not green!

Where are the protesting mothers in this situation? Mercury in fillings & vacinations for their children have resulted in outrage & organized movements & MSM sympathy!!!!
It’s time to start a mothers movement against mercury contaning light bulbs!

I just bought a set of LED bulbs at SAMS. I’ll see how those work out.

In China, however, a heavy environmental price is being paid for the production of green lightbulbs in cost-cutting factories. Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs.That's OK. There's a lot of money to be made by China off of the dead Chinese workers: They've got those "dead people exhibits" that are touring the country. Heck, I thought it was all just political prisoners... Chris Stigall calls them the "Dead Chinamen in the basement" exhibits!

the potential impacts on public health of an industry that promotes itself as a friend of the earth but depends on highly toxic mercury. When they burn out, you could always toss them into the open windows of cars sporting commie bumper stickers.

Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs. Chinese people have suffered adverse health affects in almost every case of products manufactured over there. There is no equivalent of OSHA or the EPA in China. Every time you "buy cheap" at WalMart, you vaporize American jobs and quite literally kill Chinese people.

What a crock!
Regular long-tube fluorescents contain far more Hg than do compact fluorescents. How often have you heard of workers in standard fluorescent factories being Hg-poisoned?
