People are buying, and PG&E is giving away, those energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs by the thousands, perhaps millions.  However, no one seems to be informing people that these bulbs have mercury in them and must be disposed of in hazardous waste sites, not in the regular garbage and landfills. I am concerned that when they do finally burn out, thousands, even millions, of these bulbs will end up in our landfills, spilling their mercury, because people probably won't know NOT to put them in the regular garbage disposal.  When I bought a box of these bulbs, I finally found Read This Posty »

Instead, true science proves that hydrocarbons are available in massive quantities and should be as cheap as water used to be. We pretend we are protecting 'national security' by keeping the truth under our hats, but really it's a ruse to collect your money, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.
