Renewable Wind Energy is not merely a pipe dream. The technology exists, it’s quick to install versus any other method of power generation. It’s renewable, it’s safe and it’s not toxic to human health. Why is the South African government ignoring and resisting this energy source favouring instead lavish cash-cow nuclear projects?
Why has Millions of South African Rands been spent in the last few years for EIA projects on nuclear power stations and to date nothing has materialised from it? Do you have any idea how much wind power could already be installed and operational right now with that wasted money? At the end of 2008 the worldwide nameplate capacity of wind-powered generators was 121.2 Gigawatts. 19% of electricity in Denmark is produced by wind generated power, 11% in Spain and Portugal and 7% in Germany and Ireland. Some countries are serious about alternative forms of energy but the South African government is hell bent on Nuclear and are quick to shun wind and solar energy.
If other countries can produce figures such as above, WHY is South Africa NOT on that list?
