Obviously you have never seen one. These are fairly high tech and functional units. They are quite useful in a lot of situations, I'll give you an example. Friend of mine got a small chunk of land, built a cabin on it, his weekend cabin. cost of well and septic in that area was five figures. Toting in drinking and cooking water in jugs for the weekend and having a legal pass inspections composting toilet small four figures. Well over ten grand savings. It's a john, works like a normal john, looks like a normal john more or less, doesn't smell at all, nothing weirdo about it, and the volume of the saved stuff after correct composting is actually quite small, even after months of use. It's a dry powder that's left over, amazing shrinkage.
And some areas just will not perc, even if you dig it out and put a septic system, it won't pass inspection because it won't work. So there's really incredible land deals out there because of that, because most folks aren't aware of the alternative, so they will heavily discount the property and people can get some nice acreage for cheap, similar to how guys here pick up real good deals on saws, because most guys can't even do the simplest of repairs. All sorts of people will more or less junk a decent saw for twenty bucks worth of carb kit and fuel line and filter, and go buy another 100 to who knows how much dollars saw. Why they do this I do not know, but we here take advantage of people's ignorance on that subject.
Green tech is quite spiffy and we who use it get the advantages. Those who don't and laugh at it..who cares? I don't, just their stone age ignorance, their loss. One of my generators can run for twenty plus years with almost no maintenance and not having me go buy fuel for it ever. The fuel gets delivered free all the time, every single day. And the folks who say it just can't work.... I laugh back at them. Let them keep their generators running when something weird happens in the mideast and the price of crude jumps to three hundred bucks a barrel overnight. Same with their six mile a gallon status 600 horsepower rides.
