Yes CFLs generate more light per watt, but have mercury issues.
Why are only CFLs connected with mercury in this discussion? The good old
4' tubes have the same "issues" with mercury, and have been around for
decades!
By that I meant that incandecents do not contain mercury and CFLs do. The
4ft tubes also have mercury in them, in varying amounts IIRC. The green
guys worry that with a huge influx of dead CFLs over current quantities,
that there could be mercury concerns. I am not sure if that is valid or not
and I don't have any really hard feelings in the matter. I went to CFLs
because it saved money in the long run. I fully expect to see drop off bins
for CFLs like they have for NiCad batteries, in the near future
