We have no choice after 2012.... here's the "nice" explanation for it...http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/economy/2007/12/19/faq-the-end-of-the-light-bulb-as-we-know-it.html and basically here's a more "real" version of what it means.... http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2008-01-13.shtml The day after I heard it passed, the commercials started with local hardware stores saying that you could dispose of the bulbs at their stores for free...you know most people are not going to throw away the bulbs properly, and I've also heard that penalities will be imposed. Course that is just hearsay so far.

I have never liked the environment created by CFLs because I feel like tired and can't see well. Anyway, I was thinking on taking the supermarket offer to take old incandescents to get a discount on CFLs... I'm glad we don't have CFLs at home at all What an important information.

And then I received email from Dr. Mercola on them and I started doing some research. They can cause headaches and migraines...not good. And the mercury thing really made me uncomfortable...I knew about that before he purchased them. It got me to thinking....Why in the heck would they sell something that is supposed to save on energy and can eventually cause harm, even death. HMMMM!!!!
