A lot of us are being right naughty! There's some surprising stuff in here:

Slapped wrists all round for the folks from Down Under and for the Canucks!

Well when it comes to renewables Scotland rules the world ! With a staggering 20% of the worlds renewable energy being produced here .

We've got coal, lots of it. An example; in the NW of the country is a 4GW thermal power station. It's a monster.

We are building an even bigger power station, 4.8GW, next to it. The local coal mine has reserves to power these two stations, which together will produce about 20-25% of the country's energy needs, for over 90 years. This one coal mine has estimated reserves of 2,800 Million tons.

Wish they would get them up and running then as I am had it with the blackouts

 

[DaveB]

I Googled the Eskom website; without the small gas & oil fired emergency stations, the installed generating capacity is 40.2GW. It's the 'missing' 5 or 6 gigawatts that's giving us the problem....

 

[DaveM]

yeah but with them it never ends one thing after the next
