Renewable energy is very much in focus at the moment, particularly in South Africa where ESKOM is under severe financial strain and the economy is constrained by the lack of access to energy infrastructure.

This TEDx talk from Greta Thunberg is currently trending with an incredible 160 000 views being wracked up in the first 10 days it was online.

15 year old Greta Thunberg realized at a young age the lapse in what several climate experts were saying and in the actions that were being taken in society. The difference was so drastic in her opinion that she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Her message is that the time for talking is over and we need to be serious about attempts to curb carbon emissions to ensure sustainability for future generations.
