Because it IS a concern
to deny it shows a lack of true concern. Plus why switch everything now, when everyone will just have to switch again in a few years to LED bulbs?

Also, if they can outlaw regular bulbs forcing everyone to use CFL's all the while ignoring the polution they are creating, what's to stop them from outlawing the combustion engine in favor of electric cars while ignoring the polution they are creating by prodcuing X million more batteries. Where will those batteries go. And if exploding laptop batteries are a problem what is going to happen when a car full of them explodes.

Go ahead, stick your head in the sand. But you'll be the one compalaing when your water is contaminated.
