Ok, as an outsider looking in I am going to make a comparrison... I say I am going to have a sewage tank made out of glass and suspend it in the lake in order to dump my porta-pottie from my boat. We should all be good as long as the seals remain in-tact, and the glass never breaks...
Am I to assume that a Mercury Vapor Light is ecologically feasible? This is about the most abbhorent, grossly negligent obvious pollution source I could think of....
But those are just my thoughts, not backed up by scientific evidence. Should we outright ban them? hum, sounds familiar doesn't it?
How much Mercury is contained in these lights, should they break, what is the impact? What is the comparrison of the Mercury in one of these lights compared to other Mercury generation activities in the lake?
I would think that the HOBOs would be researching this, versus assisting marketing them...
I am not looking for a debate, I would like to have honest answers. I would love to have an underwater light at the Marina, however I do not want one at the cost of dumping Mercury into the lake... I cannot assume that the light will not break...
Thoughts?
