What I'm getting at is, that the principle on which they work was known to include mercury, and that principle was known for a long time. But obviously it either isn't common knowledge or it was ignored in favour of industry. Energysaving bulbs are much longer around than the gradual ban on conventional light bulbs, yet noone it seems, knew of the dangers before that ban was even considered? Come on, really? While it's great to see that someone makes a stink about this whole issue it reeks of artificial outrage, because that was, or atleast should've been known for years.
