Warning! Mercury! Warning!

So the liberals think they can make us all save a bunch of energy with the new light bulbs we will all be using in 2012. What about all the mercury that will find its way into landfills. Yes, these new bulbs contain mercury and is extremely dangerous if inhaled! Did you know there are special protocols for cleaning up a broken bulb? Corporations and businesses are already using special procedures for cleaning up. Special clothes, containers for the broken bulbs and its'contents. I hope they will be satisfied when their child breaks one of these bulbs. We already have to worry about lead poisoning not to mention mercury poisoning. I wonder how many people know that you can't put one of these new fangled bulbs in a fixture that has a cover where it will be completely enclosed. For instance a light ceiling fan/combo that has a globe in the middle or in a bathroom that has one of those lights on the ceiling that is enclosed. Yep, the ballast gets to hot and the globe/cover will either bust or melt and the bulb can also burst. this would mean that the government and the promoters of these bulbs lied and they actually burn more energy than they are supposed to. So I'm just warning everyone and if you don't believe this just go and do a little research of your own about the effects of Mercury Poisoning. You might try buying a new style bulb or two like we did and put them in an enclosed fixture . It may be that they require special fixtures, but we did not have any luck. Tah Dah
