Treehugger seems to think that our move to cap greenhouse emissions & the possibility of a carbon tax could put the pressure on India and China to consider emission reductions of their own. And that we’re leading the way for developing countries to reduce emissions.
It’s amazing how news written elsewhere about SA gives one another take on what looks like such SLOW progress from here, but in America has been translated as a large positive step. So what are we doing to earn the accolades?
Van Schalkwyk claims that we’re reducing our consumption of cheap coal for electricity, and requiring that all future coal power plants use both carbon capture and storage, there’s the suggestion of a carbon tax, and there’s a greater emphasis on using energy from renewable sources.
Oops, don’t know that I agree entirely here – I think perhaps van Schalkwyk is smudging the grey into the black. We’ve done very little by
