Sziasztok!     Egy rovid sztori a napkollektorokrol.
   
   A mult honapban Ausztriaban dolgoztam, es e'lvezetek valamint penzkimeles 
celjabol egy tanyan szalltam meg, 1200m magassagban, ott, ahol a keskeny 
ut is veget er. Egy paraszt csalad, 10 tehen, nemi kaszalo es sok erdo.
   Osszebaratkoztam a gazdaval, mutatja az alapjait az epulo, nap fele 
fordulos vizmelegito napkollektoranak. OK. 

   Legalabbis neki OK., de nekem meg mindid nem sikerult megemesztenem! 
Ugyanis a gazdanak 50 hektarja van, ennek nagy resze erdo. A fat reszben 
eladja, reszben szuper gepesitettseggel maga dolgozza fel. A merhetetlen 
tomegu fahulladekkal fut es melegiti a vizet!!!!

   A kutyu rettenetesen draga, tisztaban van vele, hogy tizen-egynehany 
ev mulva kezd hasznot termelni majd.

Jon a reagalasotok: (1) lokott a pofa, (2) ne peldalodzunk azokkal, akiknek 
nagyon sok tokejuk van, mert otthon nem ez a jellemzo.

   A dolog melyebb megertesehez latni kellene a tanyat. Az allatait egy 200 
eves, bitang nagy istalloban tartja. Annakidejen ennek a felepitese is 
nagyon kimerithette az oseit, lehet, hogy tobb generacio is epitette, 
egyaltalan nem maguknak. O is kotelezettnek erzi magat, hogy ezt a 
fogcsikorgatva is felhalmozo es tudatosan o:ko letformat kovesse.
   Ez a hozzaallas fuggetlen a zsozso abszolut mennyisegetol! Es ez az, 
amit az urbanizacio es a tulajdontalansag kiol az emberekbol.
