If bad, what is your solution?

The problem with CFLs is that if you drop and break one you need to have a full hazardous materials team remove the broken bulb and decontaminate your house. This can cost several thousand dollars to do. So do not drop one please. Next unlike batteries and other electronics there is currently no recycling path for these bulbs and so they get thrown in the trash to contaminate land fills with mercury.
