Seoul is putting #solarpanels on more than 1 million homes and all its public buildings. We have solutions to the #climatecrisis. Time to ditch fossil fuels and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #cleanenergy #go100re #GreenNewDeal

SA ...... mmmmm ..... we have a long way to go

Foolish to replace #coal with #Naturalgas - leakage drives the global warming potential of NG power plants too high. Excellent research says transitioning directly to #RenewableEnergy BEST reduces #GHGs! @howarth_cornell Mark Z. Jacobson Pembina Institute 350 dot org desmogblog.com/2020/01/14/coa…

Last night during Eskom load-shedding I looked outside: darkness everywhere, except a few homes which were fully lit. This morning I see that each of those houses has solar PV on their roofs (and batteries, presumably). Solar works, peeps, it works just fine 😊

From Department of Energy minister Gina: Following concurrence by NERSA_ZA, we are gazetting a revised Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act to enable self-generation & facilitate municipal generation. This will help close the gap caused by deteriorating Eskom plant performance.

Hastening the transition to 'as fast as possible' is necessary. We can push even more.

We need to look forward with hope that in rebuilding from this devastating crisis we can ensure greater resilience in our people and families, businesses, health systems and governments - and a clear pathway to the #zerocarbon future: wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/blog/covid-19-… #COVID19

Today I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world. It is time to put armed conflict on lockdown and focus together on the true fight of our lives – the #COVID19 pandemic. bit.ly/33I1hlD

The President is imposing a rule that will increase pollution by nearly a billion tons of CO2 & result in drivers paying more at the pump. Bad policy & reckless timing as Americans cope w/ a pandemic exacerbated by air pollution. He must be held to account.theguardian.com/environment/20…

Today I visited the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa in Pretoria to see first hand, that the plans put in place to ensure all Animals are being cared for during this period of lockdown are fully implemented. I am pleased with all efforts by the staff and management.

Opinion: Why should SA’s post-Covid-19 stimulus incorporate a big green-energy component? Because building renewables is not an economic straw fire, as it is fully in line with what is required by the energy system and the economy in the long run anyway. engineeringnews.co.za/article/why-sh…

Battery storage is now the cheapest new-build technology for peaking purposes (up to 2-hours of discharge duration) in gas-importing regions, like Europe, China or Japan. More from our LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) analysis here. bloom.bg/2Swb3Tx

Media briefing postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. A new date and time will be communicated.

Africa has been declared free of polio today. This historic milestone fills me with hope and optimism. We can achieve so much when we work together as a global community.
