Ahhh, the UN (that great scientific bastion of deep thought and research) ‘says’ that GW is due to round lightbulbs.

People will not buy the curly-fries ones because they are butt-ugly and they have mercury in them. And because it is SO important to the nanny-state that we do. Well, those are my reasons. NEVER and NEVER. Come and make me. I’ll go to whale blubber first, you Commies.

haha.

Value of incandescents aside, the gubmit should not be poking their noses into this.

I remember trying to buy noiseless light switches and finding they’d been taken off the market because they contained mercury.

Duh.

Exactly! I have been stocking up on light bulbs for over a year now, every time I go to the store and remember to pick them up.

I am not putting mercury in this house for any reason. I trust Thomas Edison much more than I trust Chinese lightbulbs.
