A UK Study released last October suggests that there is more danger than just mercury content in your green-approved compact fluorescent lamp:
certain types of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). The Agency’s
view is that open (single envelope) CFLs shown in Fig. 1 should not be
used where people are in close proximity - closer than 30 cm or 1 ft -
to the bare light bulb for over 1 hour a day.”
Remember that the right to use a safe product in use for 100 years has been taken away from you by green activists and that the replacement product not only contains mercury but will now also potentially expose you to dangerous levels of UV rays in your own home.
People in the UK have been panic-buying old incandescent bulbs as their national ban on incandescent bulbs approaches, and in Canada we are to be limited to the new energy saving but potential killer lamps only from 2012. How can we take seriously that greens understand even simple science when one of their favorite ‘fixes’ turns out to be far worse than the problem?
Greens have been dishonest about the CFL from the outset, casting aside even their own serious concerns over mercury in their zeal to tell us all how to live. Enough, its time to push back and kill off this below-par product.
