So…thinking about the dig on abiogenic origin of crude oil made me wonder…what is SA doing?
They are heavily depends on sale of oil, it's supposed to be a scarce resource about to end and they own a desert. Sure you can't ship around solar energy but still you can produce it for your use more efficiently than most nations.
Turns out they have a thing called KA-care which is supposed to advance atomic and renewable sources.
pic related is declared plan for 2032
>16 + 25 GW from solar
As of 2011 the total power declared was 3 MW
No updated data around besides cancelled announcements and unconfirmed projections.
I'm not suggesting that we should keep producing pollution but this knowledge would be quite meaningful.
