Flat panel TVs worse for the environment than a coal plant

Oh crap. It looks like these seemingly more environmentally benign TVs actually contain nitrogen triflouride, which is a pretty nasty chemical, sometimes referred to as 'the missing greenhouse gas'.

It's something that few people know about, and we need better education on the chemicals that go into our electronics!

The best promising technology is OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), which are far superior environmentally. Let's push this technology and stop buying huge (and increasingly cheap) flat panel LCDs!
