That’s disinformation.

No hazmat procedures were ever needed to dispose of an incandescent bulb.

Again, how many people do you know who use CFL bulbs dispose of them properly?

Communists love creating environmental disasters because they accrue power ‘solving’ them.

You are correct! It is disinformation! There’s more mercury and heavy metals in the enviroment around you than is what is contained in the average lightbulb. Fluorescent lamps have been around since the 1930’s, and all of them have been dumping mercury into the enviroment since they’ve worn out, and they’ve been bathing you in UV radiation for just as long. The only difference between fluorescents and LED’s is the source of UV radiation. I look at energy usage from purely an engineering standpoint. If an LED lamp uses 4 watts, and a CFL uses 13 watts, and an incandescent lamp uses 100 watts to produce the same amount of light, which one is going to put the least amount of hurt on your energy budget.
