Point Made !

I'm tired of hearing all these bleeding heart nancy-boys crying about animal rights. They should be eaten along with the animals they so cherish. Those stupid jerks at Disney keep making those damned cartoons about wimpy ducks and fish that talk so kids these days don't go to Zoos expecting to see a hairy, red, baboon's ass, but a cute and cuddly Simba or Rafiki (Disney's The Lion King atrocity).

Animals don't have rights. They don't have rights, because people like me don't give them any. If a Bear in the woods feels like you violated its territory, tough shit, blow its head off. You have the "right" to be in a Bear's territory just as much as he does. I don't subscribe to that "he's just as afraid of you as you are of him" bullshit either. If the Bear was afraid of you, it would probably run away from you, rather than try to attack.. Unless the Bear is stupid, which he is.

I was commuting to work the other day, when I came across a dog in the street. I must have been 30 yards away when I saw it, but the dog didn't move. When I came within 10 feet of the dog, we had to stop so the stupid animal would get out of the way, and not until after I considered getting out of the car to kick it. The dog was clearly stupid, and would have probably been killed by another driver. Why is it so stupid? Why should people go out of their way to preserve animals?

Where do you draw the line between what deserves to be saved and what doesn't? Do trees deserve to be saved? Do plants deserve to be saved? What about insects? If so, even Mosquitos? Rocks that get destroyed at a construction site? Yes, everything should be saved. I have an idea. We should all sit down on the least impressionable piece of land we can find and try not to kill anything or to hurt anyone's feelings and eat only tofu and sing happy songs about dancing fairies and flowers and children and smiles and laughter. We should be so happy that it hurts. We should live in harmony with the animals and we should spend hours hugging old people and riding the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney Land, and we should protest against people that wear fur, because wearing fur is mean.

We should all sport those wonderful "Mean People Suck" stickers on the back of our cars.. oh wait, cars are mean, I meant to say bikes made of 100% recyclable eco-friendly materials that don't harm anything. Then everything will be great. Is that what you tree huggers want? Then will you stop your incessant bitching? Well it's NEVER going to happen. People are going to eat meat, animals are going to die, and there's really nothing you can do about it except bitch until someone gets sick of you bitching and runs you over..

Animals have made people happy, animals have infatuated some people's imaginations, and even motivated others. Animals have even saved lives. So what? I'm still going to eat meat. I'm going to eat meat until I die. And when I die, I hope someone eats me too. If animals weren't so damn stupid, maybe I'd care. But until then, I'm going to look forward to eating if I'm going to be eating dead animal. If anything, people shouldn't eat plants. Plants are what keep us animals alive, yet people eat plants. Plants are so important, that without the direct aid of plants, we cannot live. But is this of any concern to the eco-friendly idiot? No. He just wants something to bitch about because there isn't a war.

There's over a billion cows in India releasing the largest supply of methane into the atmosphere, and devouring tons of feed each day, yet the animal rights activists don't seem to be bitching about that. No, they have much bigger fish to fry, like sailors trying to make a living by catching fish to feed their families with. I don't know what I'm talking about. Bottom line: Eat Meat, use the Earth and everything on it for what it's worth, Disney blows ass, bears are stupid, and I'm tired.

Pestera din Brăhăşeşti

Claudia (21 ani) şi Vasile (41 ani), ambii dintr-o pestera din Brăhăşeşti, au trăit ceva vreme înpreună in aceeasi gaura din pamant, numai că, în urmă cu câteva zile s-au certat crunt ca orice femeie tinuta in cutie, femeia luându-şi cacaturile şi plecând din pestera masculului alfa.
Frustrată de faptul că a lăsat în pestera lui Vasile proviziile cu atata truda procurate, vanat, pescuit etc cu ocazia sarbatorilor de Crăciun, din care bărbatul se înfrupta singur ca orice lider de ginta, femela a pus la cale un plan pe cât de simplu, pe atât de diabolic. A pândit un moment în care omul era plecat în padure la vanat şi a intrat în pestera, furându-i acestuia toată mâncarea si uneltele de aprins focul, cu gândul să îl lase fără nimic de-ale gurii mai ales cu ocazia trecerii intr-o noua era glaciara.
Claudia nu a fost însă suficient de inspirată să dispară repede şi să îşi şteargă urmele de zeama de varza, că a fost surprinsă şi pârâtă la batranii tribului. Batranii tribului au pornit o ancheta cu privire la aceasta nerozie spunand ca femela risca 15 ani de pestera rece, singura si va fi siluita zilnic de masculii cardului de babuini din apropierea pesterii.

Halal.

La Biserica Nașterii Domnului din Betleem, veche de 1700 de ani, curățenia de Crăciun a degenerat din nou într-o bătaie între preoții ortodocși greci și cei armeni, după ce primii au trecut cu măturile în zona bisericii ce revine spre administrare celor din urmă.










Apoi sunt preoti, crestini, doritori de pace, armonie si intelegere. Ce sa ne asteptam de la ei?


Cel mai tare ma deranjeaza comentariile romanilor, care din principiu sunt mai prosti decat aia de s-au batut ca niste babuini cu supradoza de cocaina.


Toate comentariile contineau cuvantul "HALAL".


Cati dintre voi conoasteti insemnatatea cuvantului HALAL ? Haideti oameni buni, ati fost colonizati de turci 500 de ani iar in ultimii 20 de ani fiecare dintre noi poarta chiloti si maiouri turcesti, deci aveti obligatia morala daca nu istorica sa stiti ce inseamna HALAL pe care-l folositi cu atata patos.


Explicatie conform Wikipedia.

Halal (Arabic: حلال‎ ḥalāl, "lawful") is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term is used to designate food seen as permissible according to Islamic law (Sharia, الشريعة الإسلامية). The opposite of this word is haraam.

Comentariu Tomaso

Eu nu înțeleg ce nu înțeleg europenii. Vorbesc serios !
Fabrici un produs cu 100 Euro și vrei să îl vinzi cu 500 Euro, pentru a putea plăti țâșpe taxe, salarii uriașe, să te pliezi pe legislații absolut imbecile privind mediul, emisiile de carbon, angajarea forțată a unor defavorizați, declasați ori asistați social.
Multe, multe, multe …
Cum să nu pricepi că oricând va veni altul care are pretenții mult mai mici de la viață și să îți spună . Să redăm mai jos un scurt dialog imaginar.
”Prietene, cât spui că vrei pe jucărie ?” ”500 Euro ?” ”Păi nu mai bine îl cumperi de la mine cu 175 USD ?”
Oh, oh, oh … dar cum poți să îl faci atât de ieftin și să le vinzi la prețul acela ????
”Simplu, my dear friend ! Am lângă mine, aici în Guan-Goan-Zu, tot ce îmi trebuie. Sunt sute de fabrici care mă aprovizionează cu ce am nevoie, mă costă puțin, nu mă fote nimeni la creier cu protecția muncii, mediului, furnicilor de scorbură. Eu doar fabric și îți vând matale.
Dumneata trebuie să dai turul europei ca să colectezi toate componentele, să cheltui, să aștepți. La mine e simplu. Dau telefon și a doua zi vin furnizorii cu totul în spinare.
”Păi și manopera?”
My dear friend, uite vezi blocurile alea de colo ? Sunt cămine unde dorm angajații mei. Aceștia vin de la țară și pentru 100 USD pe lună + casă și masă, bagă ca gibonii.
Știi ce fac seara angajații mei? Se gândesc cum să muncească mai bine, ca să îi remarce șeful și să le mai dea ceva la salariu. Dacă vreunul comentează, ori este puturos, pleacă înapoi de unde a venit, să se înhame la plugul cu care ară prin mlaștina cu orez.
”Oh, oh, oh … dar așa ce va e inuman, este atât de crud, e sub demnitatea umana …” strigă europeanul socialist.
Să moară măta că e sub demnitatea umană ? My dear friend ?
Apoi stai și privește cum o să vă radem. Azi puțin, mâine mai mult, poimâine de tot.
La început ne-ați crezut cretini. Apoi ne-ați crezut fraieri și ne-ați dat să vă facem muncile pe care voi le credeați a fi sub demnitatea voastră. Vă puțea. Acum ce vreți de la noi ? Să ne fie milă de voi ? Voi să o frecați prin concedii, să vă schimbați mașina la fiecare 3-4 ani, iar noi să băgăm pentru voi ? Ok, a fost un timp când v-a mers, dar pentru că ați fost proști, ați pierdut tot. Ați gonit toți fabricanții și ați dat legi care i-au închis pe cei mai încăpățânați. Foarte bine, i-am primit noi. Vreți mediu curat ca să pască vaca Milka fân bio de la altitudine? Să primiți într-o lună mai mulți bani decât iau doi chinezi ? Băi dar ce tari vă credeți ….
Apoi my dear friend, când veți fi sub noi, nu peste foarte mult timp, de foame veți descoperi că trasul la plug este chiar reconfortant. În loc să fugiți pe bandă sau să trageți de fiare la sală, să fiți slim și fercheși, o să trageți la plug, băi papagalilor.

Romania ...un fel de Iran al UE.

Romania este intr-o imensa parte...este un Iran al europei...daca nu militar, macar ideologic.
In iran in 2011 au fost executati din diverse motive care frizeaza cu penibilul in jur de 200 de oameni. Nu comentez, poate meritau, poate nu, nu asta e important. Asta in mod oficial. Numai ei stiu cati au fost omorati in inchisori secrete stiute numai de ei. Eu zic asa de departe cam vreo 5000 numai in 2011.
Motive:
- Fundamentalismul religios. Asta in primul rand!
- Homofobia
- Rasism / Xenofobie
- Anti-semitism

- Toate acestea sunt specifice iranului. Dar romania? Nici ea nu duce lipsa de aceste boli ale copilariei.
Intr-o tara in care religia este ridicata la rang virtute nationala la nivel de circ si de parada unde bestia satanica si primitiv animalica din credincios iese la suprafata vrand sa pupe moastele primul - nu tine cont de nimic in calea sa.
Imbecilul est european are aroganta de a numi ateul nedemn de viata si satanic in fata dumnezeului sau? Romania este tara unde Imbecilul care calca gravide pe burta sa ajunga sa pupe moasca are aroganta de a face analize de moralitate asupra celor fara de religie?  Imbecilul de romania are maxima indecenta de a judeca EL pe cei care nu pupa moaste si nu le va pupa niciodata? Oare imbecilul roman religios este acelasi care calca pe alte batranele-animalice pentru ghivece si bormasini in supermarketuri? In nici un caz nu nu se poate compara si niciodata nu se va putea compara nici macar cu cei mai saraci si religiosi din Malawy sau Tanzania sau ...Zimbabwe si toate astea din cauza unui singur fapt: pentru ei religia inseamna salvarea lor ca populatie, inseamna linistea sufleteasca, inseamna comunitatea respectiva si nu in ultimul rand, bucuria vietii, pe scurt. Lucrui de bun simt. Lucruri de care romanul nu a stiut si nu va sti probabil niciodata... Fundamentalismul religios romanesc a atins cote de neimaginat si asta cand religia si biserica in general in Vest pierde adepti masiv din cauza ipocriziei si lipsei de logica si moralitate a conducatorilor sai. Ce pierd bisericile din vest castiga biserica ortodoxa romaneasca se pare. Nici un sens.

A se nota un aspect pe un caietel micut din creierul fiecaruia, ca ma refer strict la religie, biserica si nu la spiritualitatea intima din constiinta fiecaruia.
Ateismul pozitiv implicit nu exclude spiritualitatea individului. 


- Fundamentalismul religios nu tine cont de nimic, de viata privata, averea sau intimitatea unei persoane. In romania sunt N exemple de oameni care inca n-au trecut peste imbecilitatile gen intoleranta si ura fata de o anumita persoana prin prisma orientarii sale sexuale. 

- Poporul roman este rasist si asta pentru ca e manat de un fundamentalism religios. In '89 au urlat ca niste vite din toti bojocii ca nu-si vand tara. Astazi romania nu produce nimic tocmai din cauza faptului ca romanul este si prost si lenes si a tinut tot porumbul in patul pana l-a mancar sobolanii propriei curti...Exact cum se va intampla si cu rosia montana, si cu valea jiului, si alte cateva zone. Romanii n-au fost in stare in 20 de ani sa puna piatra pe piatra decat in interesul abject si propriu pe banii luati din tunuri si din combinageli suburbane pe carca statului. Populatia are inca o adversiune fata de popoarele care considera ca pot avea o viata mai buna in romania decat in tara lor, si multi chiar au. Chinezi, Africani, Arabi, Indieni...romanul ori are o voma in gat asteptand sa sara cand vine vorba de acesti oameni ori un icter asteptand sa explodeze in ficat. Crunta ironie ii va fi data romanului cand va observa ca numarul de tigani de la 2.5 m va fi scazut la 0.5 m din cauza faptului ca toti etnicii tigani se vor fi declarati Romani. Iar ironia cu nu ne vindem tara, va face din romania un angajat umil si legat de tarus al patronului arab, indian, nigerian, evreu, francez, american, chinez sau mai stiu eu ce. Asta daca nu deja se intampla la scara absolut imensa, cum de altfel ar fi trebuit in mod logic. Asta ca sa nu mai adaug de problema cu etnicii maghiari care pune romania in ultima banca a clasei europene. Multa dovada de civilizatie acest tip de problema nu aduce. Tocmai, in loc de o convietuire normala bazata pe intelegere, pe comunitate, comuniune si alte cuvinte inexistente pentru roman dam dovada de un primitivism greu de inteles pentru europenii de rand.


- Un popor puternic anti-semit. Cu o inversunare aproape istorica romanul e doar bun de bancuri si de luat evreul si toata cultura sa in bascalie si la misto, o cultura de vreo 1500 de ani de dinainte de Hristos.

Un popor cu populatie care in anul 2011 inca mai crede in populisme ieftine din carea de prostit masele de manevra nu merita nici o sansa in Lume. Este o tara similara cu dictaturile infinite si vesnice din africa.
O populatie rurala, inculta, corupta, egoista, proasta, profund religioasa, saraca, superficiala, superstitioasa cu nevoi absolut nerealiste in comparatie cu nivelul de civilizatie, precum o confirma si studiile de specialitate este condamna Romania sa fie in primele 10 tari care vor disparea de pe planeta pamant zic eu in cel mult 50 de ani.

Nu iau in brate nici un popor nici o etnie nici o rasa, dar nici ca romanii ! Poate ca populatie si ca nivel de civilizatie merita mentionati Norvegienii si Japonezii (care aparent conform aceluiasi studiu vor disparea ultimii ca tara).

In romania secretul unei evolutii si o dovada de civilizatie este imbunatarirea cu 1000% ale actului de justitie. In sensul de aplicare a legii si eliminarii coruptiei cumetriei si cacatului din sistem.
O justitie dreapta nu poate functiona decat intr-un stat al carei populatie isi cunoaste drepturile fundamentale, constitutia si legile. In romania asa ceva e imposibil. Romanul s-a cacat pe el cand a auzit de amenda de 5000 pentru nedeclararea cnp-ului la recensamantul din octombrie.

Romanului ii lipseste bunul simt natural in legatura cu drepturile si obligatiile sale. Cat si initiativa de a face ceva. Pasivitatea naturala, natura sa de prada nu va duce decat la extinctia acestei specii. Singura circumstanta atenuanta in acest argument este faptul ca justitia nu ajuta cetateanul si nu a tinut la apararea drepturilor sale niciodata - si de aici lipsa de cunoastere in ceea ce priveste drepturile si obligatiile individului. Deci ce rost are sa le stii daca nu ti se respecta oricum? Si asa e mai bine, daca nu le stii dormi mai linistit, incetatenindu-se gandul si atitudinea de abuzat si de victima sunt o realitate persistenta de cel putin 50 de ani. Asa s-a obisnuit, sa fie umilit, ingenucheat, scuipat batut si fu*tut si cumparat cu o sticla de ulei si o galeata apoi de toti boii care culmea tot de el au fost votati.

Romanul ca sa traiasca bine si mult pe pamantul dat de domnul dumnezeul sau trebuie intai sa dispara ca constiinta, ca natie, ca naravuri si ca popor. Cand vom fi civilizati si cand ne vom fi organizati intr-un grup compact de oameni cu aceleasi teluri si scopuri, cand vom avea curajul de a nu ne declara CNP-ul la recensamant atunci vom avea dreptul la viata ca popor, ca o comunitate atunci vom avea un cuvant de spus in UE, si in Lume. Daca Basescu ar fi avut curajul sa-i spuna lui Sarkozy ca de la 1 Ianuarie 2012 cetatenii francezi au nevoie de permis de munca pentru a lucra in romania, franta ar fi facut spume si la cur ! (Renault, Auchan, etc etc etc) (de exemplu)

Altfel, ma gandesc incet asa si in tacerea mea mistica la presiunile care se fac asupra iranului...cel adevarat condus de ahmadinejad si khamenei. Pana in 1979 iranul era o tara in care religia Baha'i era o voce care avea ceva de spus, acum iranul arata ceva de genul : Muslim (official) 98% (Shia 89%, Sunni 9%), other (includes Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, and Baha'i) 2%.

 Din ce in ce mai mult toata lumea isi intoarce privirea catre aceasta tara. Multi spun ca Iranul va fi atacat. Poate va fi razboi pentru ca in esenta omul este avid de bogatie si petrol. Pentru ca nu stim sa avem grija de noi si de cei ca noi pentru ca nu ne meritam semenii.

Va fi un razboi si acesta va cam fi si ultimul, din care vor scapa decat putini. Cei fara religie, cei drepti, cei cu bun simt si moralitate. Primitivismul religios de orice natura ar fi el va trebui sa fi fost disparut. Pentru noi restul care nu vrem decat o viata simpla si lipsita de situatii extreme nu mai este timp.


Orice tara care are 99% din populatie declarata religioasa este o tara:
ori saraca si periculoasa. (Iran / Afganistan / Iraq etc)
ori saraca si proasta (Romania)
ori proasta si periculoasa (SUA)


bogata si prospera (Norvegia)
prospera si serioasa (Finalnda)
serioasa si bogata (Norlanda)
bogata si periculoasa (Arabia Saudita/Israel)
serioasa si periculoasa (japonia)


Alaturi de Norvegia cateva tari din centrul africii vor disparea printre ultimile. Suspect, logic si matematic - foarte corect !

German Village Produces 321% More Energy Than It Needs! | Energy

German Village Achieves Energy Independence … And Then Some

BioCycle August 2011, Vol. 52, No. 8, p. 37

Wildpoldsried produces 321 percent more energy than it needs and is generating $5.7 million in annual revenue — a remarkable accomplishment for a modest farming community that has been able to invest in new municipal infrastructure without going into debt.

Christie Allen

IN 1997, when the newly elected Mayor and Village Council of Wildpoldsried, Germany took their posts, everyone agreed that its goals should be to build new industry, keep initiatives local, bring in new revenues and create no debt. Those goals included construction of a new sports hall, theater stage, pub, and retirement house. Without going into debt, the mayor and council assumed it would take several decades to achieve. But clever thinking, a national policy that “paid back” on investments in renewable energy and a community-supported vision of environmental and economic stewardship, have led to fulfilling those goals in significantly less time. This article tells the story of Wildpoldsried, a small agricultural village in the state of Bavaria, which serves as a model of how to achieve community sustainability in the 21st century — and remain debt-free.

In May 2011, 14 years later, Mayor Arno Zengerle announced at a town hall meeting that it’s “half time” of his third term. He walked the community through a massive list of accomplishments that include nine new community buildings (including the school, gym and community hall) complete with solar panels, four biogas digesters with a fifth in construction, seven windmills with two more on the way, 190 private households equipped with solar, a district heating network with 42 connections, three small hydro power plants, ecological flood control and a natural wastewater system. Wildpoldsried (pop. <2,600) now produces 321 percent more energy than it needs and is generating 4.0 million Euro (US $5.7 million) in annual revenue. This is a remarkable accomplishment for a modest farming community that turned a village with no industry into an industry of renewable energy with the help of local entrepreneurs and pioneers. Small businesses have sprung up to sell and install technologies and provide services to the renewable energy installations — from solar panels to district heating to the anaerobic digesters and energy efficiency retrofits.

WIND AND BIOGAS ENERGY
In 1999, the Village Council crafted a mission statement — WIR–2020, ‘Wildpoldsried Innovativ Richtungsweisend (Wildpoldsried Innovative Leadership) — which became the blueprint for how it should consider its citizens’ demands, community projects and future development and growth. In turn, the council hoped that the guidelines would inspire people to get involved, begin thinking greener and create jobs and businesses for the community. The W.I.R – 2020 focused on three main themes: 1) Renewable Energy and Saving Energy; 2) Ecological Construction of Buildings Using Ecological Building Materials (mainly wood-based); and 3) Protection of Water and Water Resources (both above and below ground) and Ecological Disposal of Wastewater.

One citizen, Wendelin Einsiedler, started talking to his neighbors and friends about the community’s direction, resulting in the formation of a civic society. At the time, he wasn’t sure where things were headed but wanted the society to be an active group that could lead the way for the new initiatives in Wildpoldsried. In 1999, the society established EW Wind Energy GmbH Hutoi to build two Enercon E-58 community windmills to produce 3.5 MWh of power. The total investment was 4.4 million Deutsch-marks (DM), comprised of 25 percent equity and about 70 percent debt and a small grant from the state of Bavaria (200,000 DM) specifically allocated for testing the two Enercon E-58 wind turbines. (The value of a DM in 1999 was about 1.95 Euros €.)

In June 2001 the society created a second company, EW Wind Energy GmbH & Co.KG Haarberg, which had 94 investors. Each investor could contribute a minimum of 5,000 € up to 25,000 €. Two windmills were constructed, producing 4.5 MWh. The total investment was 6.6 million DM, 2.5 million DM in equity and 4.5 million debt. In June 2008, a fifth windmill was installed to produce an additional 4.0 MWh, bringing total installed capacity to 12 MWh. Most recently, in May 2011, Einsiedler raised funds for a third company to install two more windmills. This investment is only available to the citizens of Wildpoldsried. The two new windmills will each have a capacity of 2.3 MW. Overall, investors in the society’s community windmill projects have been receiving a minimum of an 8 to 10 percent return on their investments, says Einsiedler.

Not long after Einsiedler received approval for the society’s first pair of windmills in April 2000, his brother Ignaz Einsiedler went to the village council for approval to build a second biogas plant on his dairy farm. The first biogas plant became operational in 1997. Two other biogas plants are operating on village dairy farms. Today, three biogas companies are operating four anaerobic digesters that produce a total of 320,000 kWh/year. “One-by-one, individuals came forward with ideas and plans to become energy independent,” says Susi Vogl, council administrator.

NATURAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
Even before the village council crafted a mission statement, many people were already thinking greener. As a pilot project in the fall of 1994, the third generation owner of Schellheimer, a local landscape company, built the first private natural wastewater system for his home. At the time, flooding was a big issue in Wildpoldsried and it was a constant concern for the citizens.

In 2000, Mayor Zengerle secured a European Union grant that focused on flood control and rainwater diversion. In the Mayor’s mind, the project could be more comprehensive by including a natural wastewater system for the entire community utilizing wetlands that could release clean water into the local stream. Schellheimer was approached to design a pilot project.

The system was designed similarly to a conventional wastewater plant, with three simple processes: a sedimentation tank, a (plant) filtration system and clarifier for sludge removal. WiWaLaMoor (the name of the natural wetlands) was designed for optimal drainage with two rectangular-shaped, lined humification beds, in order to achieve a steady accumulation of humus. It was estimated that in 7 to 10 years, 100 m3 of humus could be harvested from the process and thereafter 20 m3 of monthly harvesting was available. Schellheimer uses the humus for customers’ landscaping orders.

The first two years of the project were difficult. “The problem was that our existing clarification plant was obsolete and didn’t have any chemical or additional cleaning layer,” explains Günter Mögele, a member of the Village Council. “We were not sure whether we would get permission from the regional water authority again to operate it. That permission has to be renewed every 20 years. Together with the pilot system from Schellheimer, our permission was renewed. If this hadn’t worked, we would have had to build a totally new and very expensive wastewater plant or pump our waste-water to a central plant in another village, which would have required construction of many kilometers of pipes.”

After the WiWaLaMoor pilot program was completed in 2006, the council approved full-scale production of the natural wetlands. Involved in the process were the Water Authority of Kempten and the District offices of the Oberallgäu Health Department, measuring the water treatment with soil tests and other parameters set by both organizations. The project also took into account flooding of the stream (the Leubas), which occurred during the rainy season in the Allgäu. Today, says Vogl, “we are supporting 2,570 residents’ wastewater with natural wetlands and we haven’t had any more trouble.”

Wildpoldsried has built a trail with informational stations to explain its WiWaLaMoor project. “Water is life for everyone and it is evident that the ecological interplay between people and their environment must be sustainable.” explains Mayor Zengerle. The nature trail includes a honey bee friendly garden complete with a hive, two natural ponds, an orchard with 96 fruit trees and the natural wetlands park, which is now thriving with dragonflies, birds, butterflies and plants.

Wildpoldsried has a central composting collection facility for yard trimmings and landscaping waste. It opened after aggressive regional recycling programs were enacted when the village’s landfill closed many years ago. Additional laws were enacted that required residents with yards to compost their yard trimmings and food scraps (no meat, bread and dairy) at home. Households without yards put their organics in the trash, which is hauled to a regional incinerator.

BOOST FROM FEED-IN TARIFF
The momentum for renewable energy really picked up after Germany introduced a new feed-in tariff under the Renewable Energy Source Act of 2000 (the Erneneurbare-Energien-Gesetz, or EEG). The EEG made it economically viable for citizens, small businesses and entrepreneurs to get into the renewable energy business, especially solar. “By 2004, more people started to invest in solar,” says Vogl. “The Mayor started asking more citizens to place panels on their roofs. Even I installed solar panels on my house because the feed-in tariff contract was guaranteed. I went to the bank, opened a line of credit and bought my panels. They will be paid off in a few more years from the revenue I have been receiving from the power company.”

How the structure works is based on the type of alternative energy produced. For example, homeowners in Wildpoldsried who installed solar in 2004 were guaranteed to receive 45.7 to 57.4 cents/kWh (based on kWh production). AÜW, the regional power company, must purchase the energy (with a guaranteed constant price for 20 years). The extra costs that utilities incur for feed-in tariff payments are averaged across the country, and then recovered through an equal surcharge placed on electricity bills. In the region of the Allgäu, where Wildpoldsried is located, the AÜW reports that household energy prices have increased from .1608 € cents/kWh in 1999 to .2575 € cents/kWh in 2011. About 14 percent of that increase is attributed to the EEG.

“Homes with solar pay the same price as everybody, but in the new EEG law from 2011, the energy company has to pay 12 cents for every kWh homeowners use from their solar panels,” explains Councilman Mögele. “This means homeowners with solar panels save the .2575 € cents and receive .1200 € cents on top, leaving .3775 € cents in their pocket. If you use more than 30 percent of your self-produced energy by yourself, you receive €16 cents.”

Today, over 190 households in Wildpoldsried have solar panels producing 3300 kWp (p = peak, or maximum potential); nine municipal buildings are producing 390 kWp. Energy generated from these buildings is sold to AÜW; the revenue covers the cost of annual maintenance. Any additional profits fund community needs such as musical instruments for the schools and new equipment for the volunteer fire department.

DISTRICT HEATING, ENERGY EFFICIENCY
In 1999, the first evaluation of a district heating system in Wildpoldsried found it was not viable because a network needed to be laid first and the location of the heating system needed to be centralized. The project was delayed for four years until a new community hall had been erected in the village square. Wildpoldsried applied for a grant in February 2005 to install a CHP system in the basement of the community hall and a heating network under the street. In November 2005, a biomass (wood pellet) heating system was put into operation and the old oil heaters in the community buildings were retired.

Many new buildings have been erected or remodeled in Wildpoldsried in the past 16 years, and it was recommended that wood be used as building material or an energy source. The fact that the village is surrounded by 1,413 hectares of forest meant wood was a locally available and renewable resource, and generates revenue for the local tree farmers. “For our central heating system, we only use pellets, which are industrially produced in Bavaria mainly out of waste wood from the wood industry,” says Mögele. “Some home heating systems use wood chips (‘Hackschnitzel’) out of the local forests made mostly from waste wood like branches.”

In terms of energy efficiency, Wildpoldsried follows the Passive House program created by the German federal government under a 2008 resolution from the European Parliament. In 2011, the Wildpoldsried Village Council adopted an ordinance that requires all new home construction to incorporate energy efficiency measures, similar to those included in the government’s Passive House program. This is the only regulation that Wildpoldsried put into effect since the start of the WIR-2020 program in 1999. Developers of new homes are required to build a passive home, which is defined as having maximum insulation, energy efficient appliances and no oil heaters. The council also established a rebate for new home construction to offset costs of building a “zero energy” home. “With the rebate, Wildpoldsried will pay new homeowners 15 euro/m2 toward the cost of the land if they construct an energy passive house,” explains Mögele.

Remodeled homes are required to undergo a thermal scanning to identify where energy and heat are wasted. From the Passive House consult, the homeowner is required to make improvements during the remodel due to energy inefficiencies. New windows, insulation improvements and replacing oil heaters are all typical recommendations from the energy consultation.

Saving energy has been such a hot topic in the last few years in Wildpoldsried that more pioneering homeowners like Thomas Herring are stepping forward. Herring participated in another energy program called “AlpEnergie Project,” which uses a new technology called Joonior. An appliance is plugged into a Joonior, which monitors the AÜW’s pricing broadcast and turns on the appliance when the price of energy is cheap, thus lowering the cost of consumption.

FUTURE PLANS AND MILESTONES
During the second hour of the May 2011 town hall meeting, Mayor Zengerle laid out the next steps of Wildpoldsried’s sustainable community plan: Participation in Project IRENE (Integration of Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles) , which includes a Siemens Smart Grid, 37 eCars and a solar charging facility; Expansion of the district heating system and use of LED street lights; and Completion of Wildpoldsried’s new hotel that is attached to the already completed culture café, community hall and education center. The facilities will be used to hold renewable energy seminars and introduce “Eco-Energy Tourism.”

Wildpoldsried was chosen by the Federal Ministry of Economics for Project IRENE because of its renewables portfolio. The study is a joint research program with two universities and AÜW. The project begins in the fall of 2011 and will continue for two years. The study “...will reflect actual patterns of mobility and the mobile batteries in everyday scenarios,” explains Dr. Michael Fiedeldey, Managing Director of the AÜW Kempten. “The main requirement of the study was to find a community that is already producing energy through renewable means. Wildpoldsried was selected because it already generates significantly more renewable energy than consumed.”

AÜW’s network will need to be optimized as a shift occurs from a centralized power supply to a decentralized model, i.e., renewable power supply. In late May 2011, the German government announced it was phasing out all of Germany’s 17 nuclear reactors — eight of which are offline — by 2022 and expanding use of renewable resources. The move was spurred on by the disaster at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant and public opposition to the country’s reliance on nuclear energy. AÜW relies on nuclear energy for 17.1 percent of its power supply; the State of Bavaria, however, gets 63 percent of its power supply from nuclear energy.

When wind and solar farms are in full production, the electrical grid can become overloaded with renewable power. This is currently the case with AÜW, which would like to avoid a costly expansion and restructuring of its network by coordinating the supply, consumption and storage of energy through smart grid technology in combination with electric cars. (A “smart grid” attempts to predict and intelligently respond to consumption patterns of all electric users connected to it, ultimately optimizing power supply and energy efficiencies.) In addition, AÜW wants to reduce the operational and maintenance costs of regional power plants that will be slowing down in production as more local suppliers come online. “The Siemen’s system is not in use yet, but in the second phase of this study we will demonstrate the functionality and practicality of smart grids,” adds Fiedeldey.

“…We are really honored to be selected for this study,” says Mögele. “Energy cannot be destroyed; you must move it, store it or change it. We have already run into problems where we are producing too much renewable energy. It’s very important to make the network intelligent and combine it with a storage system.” He adds that the Village Council is entertaining a second research project with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind and Energy Systems to convert excess energy to biogas. The concept will take water and C02 to produce methane. “The stored methane will then be saved and converted back to power at a later time,” Mögele explains.

EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS
As of 2010, Wildpoldsried has reduced its CO2 emissions by 65 percent, and village officials and its citizens believe they will reach 125 percent by 2012. The current targeted emissions reduction for the country is 40 percent by 2020, as set forth in Germany’s Climate Initiative. Proving that Germany’s renewables portfolio is making an impact, organizations such as the Agency for Renewable Energies is tracking communities like Wildpoldsried. Its purpose is to communicate the key benefits of a sustainable energy supply — including securing the supply, innovation, employment growth and export potential — while permanently lowering the cost of energy supply, continuing climate protection and conserving resources.

Wildpoldsried has received numerous national and international awards for its conservation and renewable energy initiatives known as Klimaschutz (climate protection). The council is hosting tours to teach other village councils how to start their own Klimaschutz program. Wildpoldsried expects its Eco-Energy Tourism to be introduced to the region by next year. Biogas, solar and windmill tours, environmental education, renewables education, sustainability, nature, business and regional tourist sites (such as the Neuschwanstein Castle) will all be part of this multiday experience. In turn, they also hope that new ideas, new technology and new businesses continue to develop within the community.

“After the Fukushima disaster, Mayor Zengerle has been busier than ever,” says Mögele. “He has gone to Romania, Berlin and the Black Sea Region to talk to European economic and energy groups. What people find so amazing about our story is that no project was a burden of the community. Every decision the Village Council made was based on the financial feasibility and profitability of the project. Our terms are for six years, and we don’t want the next council to have to budget for our debt. If a project could be financed in six years or less we felt it was worth doing.”

What was once thought to be a 30-year wish list of community projects for a new council-elect, has turned out to be a blueprint for other villages to get into the renewables business. “The mitigation of climate change in practice can only be implemented with the citizens and with the Village Council behind them 100 percent of the way,” states Mayor Zengerle. “This model cannot be forced from only one side. We often spend a lot of time talking to our visitors about how to motivate the village council (and Mayor) to start thinking differently. We show them a best practices model in motion and many see the benefits immediately. From the tour we give, our guests understand how well things can operate when you have the enthusiasm and conviction of the people.”

Topul soferilor din Europa

Comisia Europeana a publicat statistica accidentelor rutiere ale anului 2010. Conform datelor, se poate spune care sunt soferii cei mai buni si care sunt cei mai slabi. Statistica a stabilit, raportandu-se la numarul de accidente rutiere inregistrate la 100.000 de locuitori, ca soferi din Suedia sunt cei mai buni din toata Europa.
In Suedia, anul trecut s-au inregistrat 265 de decese in urma accidentelor rutiere, si cel mai mic procent de accidente la 100.000 de locuitori, comparativ cu toate celelalte statele ale Uniunii Europene, scrie L'Internaute. Datele care stau la baza acestui clasament au fost facute publice la inceputul lunii august, si reprezinta bilantul pe drumurile europene pentru 2010.

In ansamblu, se poate spune ca situatia este cu mult mai buna decat anul trecut, si incomparabil mai buna cu cea din 2001. Spre exemplu, in Suedia, in 2001, au murit in accidente rutiere 583 de persoane, numarul celor care si-au pierdut viata scazand cu 50%, anul trecut.

Pe locul doi in topul celor mai buni soferi sunt conducatorii auto din Marea Britanie, si aici numarul deceselor in urma accidentelor reducandu-se cu 50% fata de 2001.

Pe locul trei se afla Olanda, urmata de Malta si Irlanda (care a inregistrat o diminuare a accidentelor rutiere cu 51% fata de 2001).

Germania este situata pe locul 6, in topul celor mai buni conducatori auto, cu o scadere a numarului accidentelor soldate cu deces de 48% fata de 2001, ceea ce in cifre inseamna de la 6.977 decese la inceputul deceniului, la 3.654, in 2010.

Danemarca, Finlanda, Slovacia si Spania au fost clasate pe locurile 7-10, iar Franta pe locul 11, urmata de Luxemburg, Italia, Austria si Slovenia.

Daca topul celor mai buni soferi este condus de statele din vestul Europei, de la jumatatea clasamentului, in statistica apar si statele din est. Astfel, Ungaria este clasata pe locul 16, in topul celor mai buni soferi, urmata de Cipru. Belgia ocupa abia pozitia a 18 in clasament, urmata de Cehia si Portugalia si Estonia. Pe locul 22 este Lituania, iar pe 23 Letonia.

In coada clasamentului se afla in ordine Polonia, Bulgaria, Romania si Grecia. In Romania, reducerea numarului accidentelor rutiere in ultimul deceniu a fost doar de 3%, ceea ce in cifre inseamna o scadere a mortilor violente in tragedii rutiere de la 2.450 in 2001, la 2.377 in 2010.
