What do people think of the new energy saving light bulbs?

There fine.

Make sure you dispose of them properly though as each light bulb contains a good bit of mercury.

In other words, these are worse for the environment than a regular light bulb if you just throw it away.
 
I like the idea, but not the actual use. It takes longer for them to get up to speed and give off the amount of light I need to see by. Also, I'm not seeing the long lasting use the packaging promises--they burn out quicker than advertised and I have to do the hazardous waste disposal, rather than toss in the trash. So overall, not too happy, but I am using them.
