iwan - Brussels #1 - alternative energy

20090307 14:41 taking off, gears in. Budapest >>> Brussels
Every time, i fly over Budapest, the first thing, i think is: "Yeah, this is our great capitol!" Over the years it had been savaged by many enemies: the invading Mongols (tatars), the Turks (Ottoman Empire), Germans, Soviets and so on. But it still stands* !


*: (for how long, i really don't know)


After 15-20 minutes -as the airplane fly over Austria- wind turbines and solar cell farms are showing up. The second thing turns into my mind immediately: Practically, we don't have wind turbines and solar cells in Hungary. Belgium is a 3 times smaller country than Hungary and they even have 10x more wind power capacity. Don't even mention Germany %) - we are not the same division.. but they have 1076 X more then us. I'm sad because it shows: Hungary is not at the top rate in alternative energy source management..

(in number of megawatts)

The wind power statistics a gathered from Show.Mappingworlds.com
