CFL's are supposted to be green because they require less energy. Now, because the Edison Standard was a simple design (Glass, aluminum and wire) and was completely recylcable, I assume that the CFL's are much harder to make and can't be recycled.
So, how much pollution is created when a CFL light build is made? Surely there must be some chemical run off or Green house gasses made. How much polution are CFL's going to make, when they do eventually die, and go into landfills?
