My lunchtime news reported yesterday that Greenpeace Africa dumped 5 tons of coal at the headquarters of our electricity supply generator ESKOM.
They were protesting against the construction of (reportedly) two of the worlds largest coal fired power plants, the Medupi power station (4800mw on line from 2012) and the Kusile power station (also 4800mw on line from 2014) and six new nuclear reactors.
That’s a lot of megawatts.
My first thought was who’s going to clean this mess up, perhaps the residents from one of the local unelectrified squatter camps could do with some free fuel on these cold Highveld winter nights.
