BUT not once was the question asked: "will it be affordable". We MUST, consider the poor first, also keep in mind that the "middle income man" who has taken the brunt of this economy, has now been hit very hard. Please tell me how am I able to afford alternative energy. Eishkom, always government owned, used to be affordable, now it just spews out pollution and corruption, and we have to pay quadruple for it. If this "energy" falls under government, then what will happen to it? just corruption..? whereas, we could "sell" our excess energy to neighbouring countries and actually make money, whilst giving South Africans a better life. I have no faith in anything that gets a "white" paper, because, unlike Europe, it never benefits the people, only the politicians pockets, always looking for a new "source" of income!
