CFLs have a little bit of mercury, is that correct?
I notice each CFL has a big chunk of plastic attached to it.
Are there other disposal concerns?
Seems like a lot of energy must go into manufacturing these things,
compared to ye' ol' incandescent.
But I'll bet the machine that twists the glass coils of the CFL is a
fun one to watch!
