Solar Energy
Solar energy, the concept has been around for years, original units only able to produce a small amount of "trickle charge" for cell phones and battery operated gate motors etc, however this field is fast developing with some homes now relying completely on solar power, initial set up costs are sometime prohibitive but with recent increases in copper cable and Utility connection fees the gap is closing fast. The payback period for a Solar installation is also drastically improving, if we ever get it right to reverse feed energy back onto the grid for credits then as in Germany for example, then there are no more issues as far as I am concerned. However, realistically we can escape the grid immediately by combining solar, wind and liquid energy (fuel). This is a fantastic position to be in and in South Africa, what a win, as the new song goes, "braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and solar power"

I had a volt in Africa
Council says my power is illegal and cannot process the account. We recycle plastic and export the product which means foreign reserves for an already failing trade imbalance. The last White person who manages this division has now resigned because he is too embarrassed to face the clients who have already paid but now cannot get an upgrade, legalise power or even any new power for a minimum of nine months.
I would love Tito to explain from the Reserve Bank's point of view how he will fix the trade imbalance without power.
I believe the removal Companies are doing pretty well..... S--- always seem to be in the wrong business.
Believe me the last income of cash in South Africa will be with the soccer world cup in 2010 due to the incoming of tourists,supposing that by that time internal security problems have been settled thus making this country inviting to the foreigner.
Competent people resigning no matter of colour,religion or race means abbandoning a sinking ship.
