2. Industry 3.By international standards, South Africa's coal deposits are relatively shallow with thick seams, which make them easier and, usually, cheaper to mine. At the present production rate, there should be more than 50 years of coal supply left. Independent Power producers are not allowed (currently) to sell electricity into the official (only) grid of South Africa. Politics, Socio-Economic challenges as well as rife corruption (world wide corporate interventions!) makes for a poor picture in terms of the development of sustainable and renewable energy sources. Contracts & tenders towards un-affordable nuclear deals (Russia & China). Plan: a. I would amend the by-laws from preferable Green Star ratings for Buildings & dwellings, to compulsory. b.
