South Africa, Wind Fails, turns to COAL!

[bripat9643]

Go ahead and show a link for your claim. I gave you links for the overruns and how far the coal project was behind schedule.

you made the claim, you demand links, put your money where your mouth is, you stated the wind farm is producing electricity, if everything demands a link, then link proving your claim.

My OP is linked and stands unchallenged, its pure fact. Your comment is hearsay.

No matter how many times you tell a lie, it is still a lie.

You would know.

Elektra;
As anyone who pays attention to Energy knows, South Africa squandered time and money to build Wind Turbines, which do nothing to elevate the pain of not having enough electricity to run a modern economy.

As anyone reading the above can see, you are a fucked up Goddamned liar, Elektra. It is that coal plant that has left South Africa without electricity, not the sole wind project. That is up and running and producing electricity, while the coal plant has yet to produce a single watt.

What happens when the wind doesn't blow. Only a dishonest turd like you would blame a coal fired power plant that isn't finished for blackouts.

A 250%+ cost overrun, you call that success?

Medupi Likely delay in first synchronisation of Unit 6 Daily Maverick

Cost overruns

The cost initially approved by the Eskom board for the construction of Medupi was R69,1 billion (excluding flue gas desulphurisation and interest during construction), and R80,6 billion for Kusile (including flue gas desulphurisation and excluding interest during construction).

The final costs to completion for both Medupi and Kusile are still uncertain, but are currently estimated at R154,2 billion and R172,2 billion respectively (including flue gas desulphursation, interest during construction and settling of outstanding contractor claims).

Further cost increases resulting from interventions and time overruns at Medupi and Kusile are expected to be announced in the next few weeks.

ESKOM is an arm of the South African government, so it's no surprise that it can't build a power plant on time and on budget. I'm sure just like the Department of Energy it never does anything on time or on budget.

Then simply show us today's output from that wind project, should be as easy as showing us the windspeed, right?

I knew when challenged you could not prove its working, thanks Old Crock.

Run from more of your idiotic claims.
