Earthlife Africa Johannesburg and environmental defenders showed their support for The Green Connection outside the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, today, calling for the release of"critical information" regarding Karpowerships.
For more than three years, The Green Connection has been opposing Karpowerships as a solution to South Africa's energy crisis. But the eco-justice organisation says that it is not just about the financial costs associated with this technology, it is also about its potential to cause harm to the environment and the negative ripple effect this could have on the livelihoods of those who depend on it.
Tomorrow 4 June 2024, Earthlife Africa Johannesburg and several local environmental defenders will support The Green Connection in a picket demonstration outside the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. Programs Officer at Earthlife Africa, Ulrich Steenkamp says,"With regards to the ongoing Karpowership court case, it is ironic how government is trying to promote fossil fuel industry in South Africa. Karpowerships are a false solution to our energy crisis.
