Electricity / CFL's
Compact Fluorescent light bulbs, commonly known as CFL's, are everywhere, it seems. Governments and Power Utilities are promoting them as a "green initiative" supposedly to help reduce energy consumption. Currently, the use of "regular" incandescent light bulbs is being discouraged and even disallowed, and sales outlets have begun phasing them out of their inventories. Very little has been said about the downside of CFL's. You may wish to be more informed about their biological and environmental effects.
"Dirty Electricity" is a side product of our electrical age, and our enthusiastic use of a generous array of electrical appliances and devices. Electric companies and authorities, electricians and anyone who uses electric current in their homes and businesses, need to become aware of the health impacts of electricity that hasn't been properly grounded or supplied.
