    Eskom says South Africa must build 53GW of renewable power in 10 years

    Extend it again, or just build a new one next to it? If you want to take it down, use a diamond blood and a few explosives or even better, put up a sign saying "beware of the dog" and turn parts of it into a Museum? In Portugal they turned a coal plant on the river going into Lisbon into a Museam.

    Eskom says South Africa must build 53GW of renewable power in 10 years

    It's also worth noting that despite the Bollywood energie wende, Germany still consumes most of it's primary energy needs (not to be confused with electricity generation) from Fossil Fuels. Calling Biomass renewable is slightly dishonest. now let's look at France.

    Eskom says South Africa must build 53GW of renewable power in 10 years

    I don't expect a Greenpeace funded organization to conclude anything else, the fact that they picked up the cracks speaks to the good practices and management standards, in many cases it's the pipes that need replacement. Hardly a major issue Cracks occur all the time, it's about the size and...

    Eskom says South Africa must build 53GW of renewable power in 10 years

    France manage to build most of its reactors in 4-5 years, then the greenies came in trying to obstruct the process and convinced the government to go the other route. Now it takes longer. If there is an elite buy in for a mass industrialisation plan then it can be quickly done. In SA it's a...
