Powerdown

Right beside the cooling towers of our Coal Power Station. We get 70% of our electricity from coal power stations like this one. France, gets 80% of its electricity from Nuclear Power Stations. Nuclear is better, but it takes a huge upfront investment, and it takes a few years (about a decade) to come on line. South Africa gets less than 1% of all it's electricity from Hydro-electric sources.
