Political will needed to make energy revolution happen in Africa

April 4, 2014 Leave a Comment

In view of the unfolding climate change news and statistics world wide, there is probably not a more important discussion to be had than that of energy. How are we going to change those systems which are destroying lives today and threatening all of us? We know that we have to recover from our dependence on fossil fuels, but how?

Jean Tresfon - Marine Conservation Photographer

Took a turn past Hospital Bend yesterday to check out the extent of the burn scars and fire damage from the recent massive #CapeTownFires. With the flames mostly extinguished and the helicopter crews standing down I could circle overhead without getting in the way of the amazing people that risk their lives to protect the rest of us from these hugely destructive events.

The extent of the burn was obvious from a long way off and my immediate reaction was amazement that more property was not not impacted. With the gale-force southeaster fanning the flames on Monday and both driving the fire towards Vredehoek and preventing the helicopter crew from flying it is actually quite amazing that the fire line was held and properties such as the iconic salt and pepper pots did not burn!

Rhodes Memorial was in the middle of it and it is not surprising that the Tea Room burnt down but I was quite interested in the way the damage at UCT was isolated to just a few random places spread quite far apart within the campus.

To the fire fighters, from those on the ground right in the fire line to the incredibly skilful helicopter pilots and spotter pilots and not forgetting the myriad of personnel behind the scenes organising and driving the effort, you folks are amazing!
