I almost dare not ask, what with Oregon’s reputation for environmental silliness... but I’m preternaturally curious:
Just why does a toilet need solar power? Or should I say, why did these toilets need solar power? To power a stereo that would play wind chime and pan flute music while a person used them? Or to power the lava lamp for ambiance?
The article didn’t say what the electricity was used for but each one cost $140,000. What a joke.
