S-Af: A dirty energy cauldron

Energy provision in South Africa is in a cauldron.

Internationally, 2 500 of the world’s leading climate scientists have found in a United Nations study that climate change is being fuelled by carbon emissions and that drastic cuts are necessary to reduce the chances of catastrophic weather patterns.

Meanwhile, back home, a major study into energy usage by cities finds that if current policies continue, energy usage in South Africa is likely to double over the next 20 years.
