Why is public opinion indifferent to renewable energy as a solution to South Africa’s electricity crisis? This video is under creative common (cc video), attribution license By SACSIS Social Justice News In the face of extremely compelling evidence against coal and nuclear energy, our government’s response to South Africa’s electricity crisis is to continue building coal-fired power stations and a very expensive nuclear power plant, argued Fazila Farouk, executive director of The South African Civil Society Information Service (SACSIS) in her opening remarks at a panel discussion that focused on South Africa’s energy crisis and government’s response and the public’s reaction to it. The panel discussion that was co-hosted by SACSIS and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung South Africa Office (FES) interrogated the question: “Why is public opinion indifferent to renewable energy as a solution to South Africa’s electricity crisis?” Speakers on the panel included Tasneem Essop, low carbon advocate at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF-SA) and a commissioner on South Africa’s National Planning Commission (NPC); Ferrial Adam, Africa and Arab region team leader at the environmental NGO, 350.org; Dr. David Fig, an environmental sociologist that has written a book about nuclear energy in South Africa; and Renate Tenbusch, a political scientist who heads up FES’ South Africa office. https://vimeo.com/129192907 Energy Crisis (Recurring Event) Electricity (Industry) Energy (Industry) Renewable Energy (Industry) Electromagnetism (Literature Subject) South Africa (Country) Africa Global Power Warming FOLLOW ME ON: MY CHANNEL: http://bit.ly/1kcta6h MY FACE BOOK: http://on.fb.me/1V3kWBT GOOGLE PLUS: http://bit.ly/1KeT7mX
