New York Times : Despite Japan’s nuclear troubles following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck just weeks ago, South Africa’s government is moving ahead with a new energy plan that includes nuclear power. Currently, South Africa depends heavily on coal, which provides 84% of its electricity. The newly ratified Integrated Resource Plan would wean the nation off coal by building half a dozen new nuclear power plants along South Africa’s coastline and taking advantage of renewable energy sources such as the Sun and wind.
