If you took every CFL sold last year (or maybe 2005 or 2006), lit it for the duration of its predicted life span and then broke it on the street, you'd still be putting less mercury into the environment than if there were no CFLs being used.
Incandescent light bulbs are ridiculously inefficient. Coal power plants produce much of the electricity in the United States. BAM!
