Why not install rotary magnetic coil generators in the toilet flush pipes all around the world. With every flush it would turn and generate power. No more flushing money down the drain!!Why Not

It would slow things down and risk clogs, for a paltry amount of power.
I don't think that there's anything special about toilets, except that toilets tend to have a very high flow. But toilets have a high flow for a reason--to push the waste thru the pipes. I wouldn't want to interfere with that.
And the power gained would be negligible
There is no free energy. Greater water pressure would be required, therefore more water needs to be in the toilet bowl to start with. It takes energy to put it there.
