In South Africa at the present time, Eskom, the national electricity supplier, wants to increase tariffs by 35% per year for the next 3-years so as to raise capital to build massive new power stations to meet projected demands.
They will all be coal-burning polluters. To hell with global warming concerns and how greatly increased electricity costs will impact upon industry and jobs in our country.
If they allocated 5 % of that projected expenditure to “free” solar water heaters for all households they would not need to build so many new power stations.
I wish some influential ANC politicians would read this Rons Thoughts. They are too busy lining their own pockets to care.
