I will preface this by saying I am not entirely sure how worried to be about the dangers described in the article. It does seem a bit one sided.
But, you quoted the EPA stating that there are more mercury emissions from the power generated to run an incandescent light bulb. The only thing I would say to that is that the mercury there isn't a spill concentrated in my Child's bedroom. Having to choose, presuming the article isn't a complete mirepresentation, I would rather generate more pollutants at the power plant than have a toxic spill in my childs bedroom.
