Are plasma and LCD televisions destroying the environment?

TG Daily reports the findings of Michael Prather, a research scientist at UCLA. Apparently, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) a gas used in the production of plasma and LCD screens may be more than 17,000 times more powerful of a green house gas than carbon dioxide. Oh yeah, it's not covered by the Kyoto treaty either. Now what was it that was so bad about CRTs again...?

Hat tip to Mike Wall for the link.
