New nuclear power far off for SA

South Africa's Ministry of Electricity and Energy withdrew a determination to procure new nuclear energy capacity after a court challenged the decision.

This is according to South Africa's Minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, who answered a parliamentary Q&A regarding a delay in the country's procurement of nuclear power stations.

Nope the era of government built nuclear is basically over. Not expecting to see another in my lifetime anyway.

Private-sector smaller-scale generation is another matter... and the only real hope, albeit also not round the corner.

This is a global or at least a western issue too, SA not alone on this at least.
