Climate change: Africa's green energy transition 'unlikely' this decade

By Matt McGrath
 

Fossil fuels are set to remain the dominant source of electricity across Africa over the next decade, according to a new study.

Researchers found that around 2,500 power plants are planned, enough to double electricity production by 2030.

But the authors say that less than 10% of the new power generated will come from wind or solar.

The authors say that Africa now risks being locked into high carbon energy for decades.

They argue that a rapid, decarbonisation shock is needed to cancel many of the plants currently planned.

FIggers.

China and Africa pretty much will be able to do whatever they want while the "White Countries" will have to comply.

China is busy re-colonizing Africa, so there’ll soon be no reason to differentiate between the two.

BTW part of China’s campaign to co-opt Africa is the allowance of increased immigration from the dark continent to the PRC. As a consequence they’re now experiencing some of the same social maladies over there that we’ve had here for decades.
