WTF!!!!

You will be dispersing LESS mercury into the environment by using CFLs.

Unless you use dead CFLs as skeet pigeons the mercury will be contained
in a landfill somewhere. MUCH less dangerous to the environment than the
mercury contained in coal plant stack gases.

Conservation is good and CLFs conserve resources. Unfortunately it takes
legislation to achieve conservation in most cases. It really does not
matter what the final percentage of total conservation ends up being.

A watt saved is a watt saved.

Starting a thread equating conservation to doomsday is NOT helpful.
