THE DOWNSIDE OF FLUORESCENT LIGHT BULBS

STEVEN MILLOY, FINANCIAL POST, CANADA - How much money does it take to 
screw in a compact fluorescent light bulb? About US $4.28 for the bulb 
and labor -- unless you break the bulb. Then you, like Brandy Bridges of 
Ellsworth, Maine, could be looking at a cost of about US $2,004.28, 
which doesn't include the costs of frayed nerves and risks to health. . .
