We've talked a lot recently about the LED bulb revolution (here and here) and the fact that they're likely to replace CFLs as the go-to green bulb. We've also noticed in the Comments that many of you are strongly opposed to CFLs in the first place because of the mercury content. So, we thought we'd take a little survey:

I'm sorry, but mercury ≠ environmentally friendly. Bulbs shipped all the way from China? Yeah, that's really helps the environment. Energy efficient, but at what cost? I'll hold out for LED bulbs. Some are made in the U.S., and they aren't ugly like CFLs—they look like normal light bulbs for the most part. LEDs are the future.

I still buy incandescent light bulbs just because they are made locally in PA- the ones I buy are anyway. I'm holding out for LED.

Mercury concerns me, and the light emitted by CFLs depresses me. I've tried different CFLs, but no luck so far. Incandescent bulbs for now! Someday LEDs?
