Same goes for cars, yeah a hybrid will use a little less fuel, but don't you think the chemical waste of producing and throwing away the batteries will in the end be worse?

Guess what?It's not fluoresent it's incandescent! The 'they last longer' is bulls@#t! PS..I don't really believe that bulb in Livermore has burned continuously for over 100 years.Livermore is reasonably close to San Francisco & I find it highly unlikely the power stayed on there during & after the great earthquake in 1906! Maybe they're just not counting that. “they last longer”?, from experience I just don’t believe that.Did you know there’s a light bulb in a firehouse in Livermore California that has been burning continuously for over a century?

The point is that the U. S. government has no constitutional authority to regulate matters such as this, which, under the 10th Amendment, are reserved for the several states. But special interests are always in favor of powerful government, because government is the ideal tool for making superior competition illegal, as well as for forcing people to spend money unnecessarily -- you might want to think about HDTV, as an example, or mandatory carbon monoxide detectors etc. etc. ad nauseam.

CFLs and i got them when they first came out in packs, there all 4 years old and still work fine, i took them out of my old place and put them into my apartment. Yes i have noticed that they dont really save all that much money a 4 pack of incondecent bulbs is what? 1.99 or so and a 4 pack is 12.99. but the electric bill didnt really change. another point i would like to point out is, on the package and the bulb itself says that they need to be recycled. I approve of them mainly of the hastle of replacing them in inconvient light fixtures in hallways or livingrooms ya know.. HO HO HO i am government man from government land, sent by the government.. thoughs arent lightbulbs, there secret government..... weather balloons. um i dont know where you all got yours from but i got a set of G.E.

We don't live in vacuum. Every atom of matter has electrons around its nucleus. Any electron that would escape the vaccum would get lost in the surrounding sea of electrons. Electrons are not very energetic particles. You would need a very high density at short range to do anything to your atoms/molecules.
