Teen ‘n Tuinmuur
Hier sien jy ‘n “werpsel” mot-eiers teen ons tuinmuur – ongeveer werlike grootte:
Let op die swart spikkel bolangs en ongeveer in die middel.
Hier is daardie spikkel heelwat vergroot:
Ek raai dis ‘n parasitiese wesp wat wag vir die ruspes om uit te broei. Ek hou haar nou al die hele dag dop, en sy sit steeds daar. As ek reg is, is dit ‘n “sy” wat dan ‘n eier in die ruspe sal lê en wanneer dit op sy beurt uitbroei, die mot-ruspe van binne sal opvreet!
Die wesp is minder as 1 millimeter lank!

Dit was mos die dertiende!
Gister, 13 September het ‘n soortgelyke wrak agter teen my nuwerige tweedehandse Polo vasgery.
Gelaai met 6 of meer Zim immigrante.
Geen ID, geen rybewys, geen versekering, geen geld.
Waarskynlik ook geen brieke …
Hier is enkele uittreksels van ‘n artikel hier: Netright Daily
Die argument is dat windkrag nie groen is nie en net met belastinggeld aan die gang gehou kan word.
Wind turbine installations impact vast amounts of land, far more than traditional power plants.
Arizona’s Palo Verde nuclear plant generates 3,750 megwatts of electricity from a 4,000-acre site.
The 600-MW John Turk ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plant in Arkansas covers part of 2,900 acres; two 600-MW coal-fired units in India use just 600 acres.
Gas-fired units like Calpine’s 560-MW Fox Energy Center in Wisconsin require several hundred acres. All generate reliable power 90-95 percent of the year.
By contrast, the 600-MW Fowler Ridge wind installation (355 turbines) spans 50,000 acres of farm country along Indiana’s I-65 corridor. The 782-MW Roscoe project in Texas (627 turbines) sprawls across 100,000 acres.
Oregon’s Shepherds Flat project (338 gigantic 2.5 MW turbines) covers nearly 80,000 wildlife and scenic acres along the Columbia River Gorge, for a “rated capacity” of 845 MW.
Wind turbine installations require vast amounts of steel, copper, rare earth metals, fiberglass, concrete, rebar and other materials for the turbines, towers and bases.
A single 1.7 MW wind turbine, like 315 of the Fowler Ridge units, involves some 365 tons of materials for the turbine assembly and tower, plus nearly 1100 tons of concrete and rebar for the foundation.
Bigger units require substantially more materials. Grand total for the entire Fowler wind installation: some 515,000 tons; for Roscoe, 752,000 tons; for Shepherds Flat, 575,000 tons; for Chokecherry, perhaps 2,000,000 tons. Offshore installations need far more raw materials.
Taxpayers and consumers must provide perpetual subsidies to prop up wind projects, which cannot survive without steady infusions of cash via feed-in tariffs, tax breaks and direct payments.
Transmission lines cost $1.0 million to $2.5 million per mile. Landowners get $5,000+ per turbine, plus royalties on all energy produced from the turbine, plus payments for every foot of access road and transmission lines.
However, taxpayers pay more, while the landowners’ neighbors suffer property devaluation, scenic disruption, noise, health problems and interference with crop spraying, but no monetary compensation.
Direct federal wind energy subsidies to help cover this totaled $5 billion in FY 2010; state support added billions more; still more billions were added to consumers’ electric bills.
The Other People’s Money well is running dry. The “manmade catastrophic climate change” thesis behind the wind energy campaign is in shambles.
Voters and consumers are understandably fed up.

Hier is een van ons duur duikbote.
Ons sien hulle nooit onderwater nie!
Die slimmer een in die huis reken die duikknoppie is gebreek …

Wie moet hulle bedank?
