Unintended consequences. That's what you get with fluoresent light bulbs. Here's an article from the Washington Times (thus the conservative angle) about the bulbs and the problems they can cause.

You know what we have power problems here. So, all our bulbs are the energy saving sort. And when we first got here, not only were they energy saving but they were the lowest possible wattage. It really was as if we were going around with candle light. Needless to say, we changed those after we arrived.
Interesting reading about the mercury....
"The Washington Times"? Really? Why don't you just reference articles from "The National Enquirer" or "The Star"?
nothing like a little governmental double talk, eh?

BTW, I liked the title of the post, too.
A - The mercury in fluorecent bulbs is not a new topic but it is coming to the surface again because of the push for compact bulbs.
G - I obviously don't live in the Times distribution area. But this article was no where near the level of concern that I've read in other articles. I've read some that say if a fluorecent bulb breaks, you should get out of the room immediately and stay out for a minimum of 15 minutes.
J - It's always something, or not.
I thought the new bulbs were a fire hazard with dimmer switches. Which at first look seems like it is a bad thing but then you have to think - fire is awesome, right?
N - Fire is cool.
