I know LED's have a nice cuddly image as a green alternative to incandescent bulbs, whose only real disadvantage is generation of more heat per lumen of light produced, but ...

Just one thing to ponder - LED's are light emitting diodes, meaning they are semi-conductors.

Quick question - what is, hands down, the largest single former occupancy of sites on the Superfund list.  Give up?  Semiconductor manufacturing.

Unfortunately, to create those nice little suckers requires bathtubs of nasty solvents.

Incandescent bulbs - a tungsten filament, some copper and aluminum for the socket and a nice glass bulb.  No mercury, no methylethylketone, can be thrown in a landfill.  Huh, who'da thunk it?
