(which can be viewed in its entirety on the <a

Neugebauer responded to the question, "Should I be concerned about
mercury exposure from fluorescent lights?" In the article he
concluded:<br>
<br>
"In spite of this slight tarnish [see full article], however, I still
love CFLs. I love that they use about a quarter of the electricity of
traditional incandescent bulbs. I love that they last up to ten times
longer than incandescent. And now I love that, according to the EPA, even
though they contain mercury, their use still leads to lower amounts of this
hazardous material being released into the environment than with
incandescent, which contain no mercury. This is because power plants, which
release mercury as a byproduct, must produce additional electricity to meet
the needs of the less-efficient incandescent lights. Oh, and did I mention
that I love CFLs?"</span><strong><o:p></o:p></strong></p>
