Incandescent Lights Result in More Mercury Pollution Than Fluorescents

Incandescent lights require more power generation and result in more mercury emission than fluorescent lights.

MINNETONKA, MN, September 21, 2010 (Press-News.org) In addition to carefully recycling products that contain mercury, we can reduce mercury pollution by reducing our energy consumption.

Because incandescent bulbs use several times more electricity over their lifetimes, they require far more power generation and, ultimately, result in more mercury emission than fluorescents. With the coming "maximal achievable technology" clean air standards, it is fully expected that mercury emissions will have to be severely reduced in order to stop this proliferation. Fluorescent lights are four to six times more efficient than incandescent lamps, significantly reducing the power demand from local utilities. The reduced demand for electricity in turn reduces both greenhouse gas and mercury emissions.

But, by looking at the provisions of a California state law that has been in place since 1988, consumers can get a better idea of what insurers are looking at when calculating their premiums. Voters in the end of the 1980s passed proposition 103 ...
