To which you might add:

-- Even greater efficacy than incandescents when dimmed

-- Lower overall mercury discharge than the additional mercury from
coal-fired power plants from additional energy consumed by incandescents

-- Large cost savings owing to reduced electrical consumption

-- Positive carbon balance environmental benefits

-- Reduced environmental impacts from mining

(Incrementally; not a panacea.)
