13 Feb 2012 – The World Economic Forum warns SA’s eco-system is deteriorating so fast after 2 decades under ANC-hegemony that it’s placed at 128th worst out of 132 countries surveyed…
SA’s once so brilliant nature reserves, water-system, agriculture and fisheries have deteriorated nearly the fastest in the world under the ANC terrorist regime since 1992: and things will get even worse. The fraudulent regime insists on building a series of nuclear reactors along its pristine coastline…
The World Economic Forum announced its findings of the current state of 132 countries’ eco-systems since 1992: and South Africa has deteriorated so badly that it is placed at 128th place. Iraq is the worst, Switzerland looks after its environment and its people’s health the best in the world. These were the findings of scientist-teams at the Yale and Columbia universities in cooperation with the World Economic Forum.
They compared 132 countries’ eco-systems and human-health situations in 2011 with those same countries in 1992.
The report warns that the population’s health, its air- and water-quality, its biodiversity, its ecosystems’ fuctioning, its agriculture- and fishing industries all have ‘seriously deteriorated’.Yet with its population’s health at such horrific risks from its rapidly-deteriorating eco-system, the ANC regime still insists on pressing ahead with its disastrous R1-trillion-costing plan to build a string of nuclear power plants along its once so pristine coastline – starting in Jeffrey’s Bay – the world-famous ‘endless wave’ recorded in the surfers’ cult-movie ‘Endless Summer…’ The WEF analysis can be downloaded by first registering at: www.epi.yale.edu

The editor of Jeffrey’s Bay News writes that it is inexplicable for SA to steam so relentlessly ahead with its nuclear-plants plans, noting: …’As countries like Switzerland, Germany and Italy start moving away from nuclear energy, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand why South Africa wants to invest over R 1-trillion in building a fleet of nuclear power plants. (Yet )in South Africa, we want to generate 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power through 6 nuclear power stations situated around the coastline.
“Thyspunt, near Jeffreys Bay has been identified by Eskom as the preferred site for the first of these nuclear reactors, despite material flaws in the Impact Studies that will give community organisations more than enough ammunition to fight the proposed development in court for years to come.
“Tourism remains one of the key economic drivers in the wider Jeffreys Bay region, and the international surf community have made their views known about a nuke that will have an impact on the world class surf breaks found in the bay. The Impact Studies actually admit that Seal Point will be affected by the dumping of thousands of tons of sand into the ocean during the construction phase.
“No mention is made on how long it will take for the spoil to disperse either.
“The stricken nuclear power plant Fukushima is still in a critical state, nearly a year after it melted down and started spewing radiocative waste into the atmosphere, causing a 30 km evacuation zone to be declared.
“The plant started heating up again this week, causing fears that even more radiation will be released. The operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant has begun injecting more water into one of the reactors, after the core temperature rose above Japan’s safety limit.
“South Africa cannot afford to put the lives of our citizens at potential risk, nor can we impact on our tourism industry which will be the life blood of Jeffreys Bay for decades to come. Neither can we afford the R 1 trillion to construct the nuclear power stations.
“This deal has the potential to make the arms deal (*which turned into a massive bribery-scandal) look tame in comparision.”
“Surely renewable energy is the only viable solution to South Africa’s future energy requirements?” he asked.”
