Remember the old mercury thermometers that were outlawed because they contained such a dangerous substance?
Now congress is considering a law to ban the standard light bulbs and force us to use compact fourescent light bulbs whose main ingredient is... you guessed it, mercury. In fact, they are so hazardous that if broken, the suggestion is to call a HAZMAT team to clean it up!
Do we really need congress to pass a law like this? What's the reason? Help stop mand-made global warming and save the planet one light bulb at a time! Great. The planet won't heat up 1/2 a degree, but we can all die of mercury poisoning! GREAT PLAN!
Where is the media on this one????
