Katharine Child’s recent article points to the real cost of green energy, namely getting it from where its generated to where it’s needed (“Eskom estimates R210bn needed for power transmission grid”, June 25).
The stated cost would buy a small modular reactor, which is about the size of Ellis Park Stadium, and could tick away supplying power for 20 years before you’d even need to check the oil and water.
As they say, “common sense isn’t so common”.
