For 1 thing we should've had gradual price hikes over the past 15 years.
They could however use the local government surpluses to cushion this a bit. Not to mention reduce the transport of coal
/me thinks back to that carte blanche episode.
And limit their buyers cavorting over seas, and buying groceries with company cards etc.

And when they want to go nuclear the hippies go mad.

And where do you put the radioactive waste that Nuclear power stations make as a byproduct? Or is that 'Not your problem' :D It will be your kids problem tho'

How do you entrust a brand new nuclear reactor to a company/Govt that cant even maintain/run Koeberg! Maybe eskom should start with 1000 people on bicyles with dynamo's .. start small, then move up in to managing a box of AAA batteries.

Oi, that dynamo idea was mine! Refer back to the "hamsters on unused mine-dumps post"
 
Ah - BEE nuclear waste management - just when I thought things could not get worse.
 
Since koeburg has been running there has been less than a swimming pool worth of waste created. A lot of this can be re-enriched and re-used -> poor kids...
I'll admit that the misplaced nut/ sabotage/lack of maintenance is a worry though. Eish!

I'm looking forward to the PBMR offering though. But 20 years is a bit long to wait...

Sorry mate, all that "bullet-proof 50cm thick glass" has been bought up, and fitted to Eskom execs Bentley's, Range Rovers, and Rolls Royce's!
 
errr... was reminded of this

The day after the accident, this place on the bridge provided a good view of the gaping crack in the nuclear containment vessel that was ruptured by the explosion. Many curious people came here to have a look and were bathed in a flood of deadly x-rays emanating directly from the glowing nuclear core.
