Given lead times to get one here.. And then hook it up to the grid... No.

And given the amount of power we need.. We'd need the whole world's fleet almost.

Why is this in N&CA?

 

[LazyLion]

But why specifically on a ship? You know you can build power stations on land, right?

Yeah cause that's helped us, I mean look at Medupi.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

They are a good idea, in times of war I can see a use, but not to assist us.

I'm reasonably sure that their quality control is a fair whack better than ours. And seeing as neither of our nuclear installations has had a critical meltdown, I'm willing to take that risk.

 

[pinball wizard]

look at Medupi.

I would love to. Where is it exactly?

West of Polokwane close to the Botswana border.

That is the perfect answer to Durbans problems .
The boat could be parked at the end of the Umbilo river and a cable fed up the river about one kilometer to one of the main sub stations on the river and away we go Durban will be good to go .
We could get rid of Eskom ,then just one problem remains the ANC

Really? Why was it built there? There's no massive coal mines out that way are there?
