Solar photovoltaics and wind power are on track to supplant fossil-fuel-based electricity generation by the 2030s. The only thing holding back the renewable revolution is politics.
South Africa’s power utility would do well to consider swapping out expensive new coal-powered capability for renewables.
Wind is just air moving from one place where there is high pressure to another place where there is low pressure.
