Comes after congressional members grilled. Fatal crashes in indonesia and ethiopia. The hearings were a step backward with more questions than answers. Series from the jewels in the 1st part of next year. Chris has been following this story quite closely. Whats actually changed here because.

Africa remains a continent reliant on fossil fuels oil gas and coal still supply the vast proportion of its energy but africas Renewables Resources have enormous potential the continents Green Energy Capacity is estimated at 50000. 00 megawatts that is more than double africas annual generation of energy from liquid fuels like oil which is just 22000. 00 despite their potential renewable sources make up a relatively low proportion of africas consumption 8 percent comes from the likes of wind solar and hydro electric energy that compares with the 41. 00 and a half percent from oil lets talk about this with an Energy Expert j youre also a lawyer and author. We dont have time to. Go through all your books that youve written but lets talk about energy in africa 1st of all the potential for renewables just just what potential is there 1st of all because i know theres a lot of Southern Africa because there is a lot of sun on certainly does going to be a big potential for renewables that is africa is seen an energy translation right now so youre going to see a lot of talk to use for his renewables from east africa dont forget you have to to qana in kenya is one of the largest the Largest Renewable Energy project india continent is going to about 450 megawatts when that is done in nigeria you see new projects in south africa youve seen things coming up and youve been looking at in senegal they have some really Great Potential but and a lot still needs to be done we technology and d.
