“We have significant resources of coal. It be the height of folly to think that we can industrialize and abandon that strategic resource” - Minister of Electricity and Energy

McBride said Gen Mkhwanazi never mentioned the case of Gen Mdluli in his presentation. But here Mkhwanazi goes at length about how a Minister stopped him from pursuing the case. As a results Mkhwanazi decided to quit the post of Acting Commissioner. Why did McBride lie?

‘Load-shedding is over not because of burning of diesel, but because De Ruyter’s exit.. allowed cabinet to support coal station managers at ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩’ - Frans Cronje cutting through the noise #Loadshedding via BizNews.com

Only in RSA can someone say such engineering gibberish and get away with it. To compare 6000MW of intermittent generation with dispatchable coal generation is inexcusable, for someone who had access to probably the best system engineers in the world.

‘We had years of Western Countries, including my own ( USA) shamelessly saying (to Africa), ‘don’t develop coal, don’t develop coal, coal is bad’, that’s just nonsense, 100% nonsense.’ - Chris Wright, US Minister of Energy, Elec &amp; Mech Eng, MIT&amp; UC. #EnergyLeadership

SPOT ON : The market will never resolve Energy Security. It is the exclusive role of the State

I am an engineer. My political EQ is very low. But how could the DA, whose mission has been to remove the ANC but now stuck at 22%, be the party that now can save the ANC through a coalition? Or is this a way for the 20% to ‘supervise’ the 80%? ⁦BizNews.com⁩

China is an Engineering State. The US is run by Lawyers. Deng Xiaoping transformed China by building a technocratic state around engineers. The stunning turnaround of ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩ was orchestrated by Engineers. The Minister, the Chairman and CEO are all Engineers

GREAT QUESTION: ‘The Chinese are causing 40% of the emissions but are building 2 coal plants a week.. . The UK is at 1% but virtue signalling to 0.5% . . If the US is going to Drill, Baby Drill, and China continues with their emissions, then what’s the point?’ - Alec Hogg

So, President Ramaphosa must also take credit for the ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩ turnaround. In 2022, the President was already approaching individuals to replace De Ruyter. He also personally decided on the new role of the Ministry of Electricity. #EnergyLeadership

[LISTEN] Minister of Energy of Qatar on the Energy Transition, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi. He has a BSc in Energy &amp; Gas Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in the USA.

Minister of Environment gives ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩ limited exemption for Minimum Emissions Standards. Why? He directs Eskom to accelerate the replacement of coal with renewables Reality: No country has replaced coal with renewables. Renewables only works with backup dispatchable

Industrialization and Electricity: The real conversation: “This is the game-changer. This is the most significant announcement I have made since I came here (becoming the Minister of Electricity )” - Minister of Electricity announcing special pricing by @Eskom for smelters

“What some western diplomats are doing here (on energy policy in South Africa) is CRIMINAL. What China &amp; Russia are advising on energy is far more sensible if RSA has to become a successful developing nation” - Frans Cronje via ⁦BizNews.com⁩

[ENERGY REALITIES] ‘The world has spent $10 trillion on Climate Change, but has achieved only 2.6% solar and wind as percentage of global (total) energy.. Let’s just engage with REALITY. The world runs on oil, coal and gas. Full Stop.’ - Chris Wright - US Energy Secretary

[LISTEN] The focus on ‘clean energy’ by the previous ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩ Board &amp; CEO caused load shedding. Parliament is told by current board member, Clive Le Roux.

Trust but Verify: Shamila Batohi goes overboard trying to rescue Andrea Johnson and IDAC, but risks damaging her own credibility.

What caused load shedding? [SUMMARY] ‘The previous Board and CEO of ⁦Eskom Hld SOC Ltd⁩ prioritized clean energy and the accelerated shutdown of coal power plants at the expense of energy security’ - Clive Le Roux, Member of the current Eskom Board

‘We had years of Western Countries, including my own ( USA) shamelessly saying (to Africa), ‘don’t develop coal, don’t develop coal, coal is bad’, that’s just nonsense, 100% nonsense.’ - Chris Wright, US Minister of Energy, Elec & Mech Eng, MIT& UC. #EnergyLeadership
