I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

Why not put this at the meter on the way into the house so you get some green energy whenever somthing draws water... get back a little discount against your water bill. And the toilet idea, you just filled that tank with potential energy! why "waste" it!.

It is sad that everyone can not see how foolish this is.
Someware in the water system there is a pump that had to pump this water 100 plus feet into the air into a water tower. To think that by wasting water in order to get an inconsequental amount of energy is a good idea shows how ill informed the media is. The water that comes out of the tap has been filtered, clorenated, and tested. All of this effort is wasted if the water is wasted. The water probably had to be pumped up from a well using more energy than the contraption at the sink produces.
Water is a limited resourse, as we use up more and more the water table drops making it more expensive to pump it up from wells. In some parts of the countery water can even be used up.
