| The environmentally friendly toilet is causing more damage to the environment than previous versions that used more water. |
The federal government somehow felt it had the Constitutional authority to tell the states how much water their toilets can use. Gone were the powerful toilets that flushed without any problems for toilets that really weren't that much better for the environment. Their weak flushes meant you had to flush more and may actually use more water than the more powerful toilets.
Once again, like the light bulbs they are forcing us to use over the traditional bulb, we see another regulation to protect the environment may actually be causing more harm to the environment. Check out what is happening in San Francisco.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute writes:
San Francisco spent $14 million on bleach to clean up a mess caused by environmentally-friendly toilets.
Policy Analyst Brian McGraw notes that cleanups like these defeat the purpose of "green" appliances.
"Less water per flush means less water pushing sludge along through sewers. Now California has spent $14 million (aside from $100 million in previous attempts to deal with this problem) on bleach that will eventually flow into the San Francisco bay. That doesn’t sound very environmentally friendly."
Stupid environmentalists! They never look beyond what feels good to them, and now they have created a bigger mess thinking they solved a problem. Hey, it couldn't happen in a better place. San Francisco! Right? The mecca of crazy liberalism.
