Low Carbon Future – IRP2010 Conference

Energy in this country is in crisis and every person, whether as an individual, a household, a farmer, a trade unionist or a
business person, is bound to experience the negative effects of what is already a major crisis. That is why this conference is so
important to everybody.
For generations coal has been this country’s main source of energy. The government recently announced its goal of achieving
a new energy mix, in which different forms of renewable energy would be promoted, so reducing the country’s reliance on
coal, with its severe consequences for global warming.
This conference will explain the government’s plan and look at how it can be achieved with everybody cooperating. Until now
the champions of the various sources of energy have trumpeted in a single minded way the benefits of their particular source,
whether it is wind, nuclear, solar or whatever, often unfairly at the cost of coal. That’s why this conference will be different.
We are offering a neutral platform. Scraps there will be, because lots of vested interests are involved. But the only way to
overcome this crisis which we are already in, is to discuss practical cooperative solutions to ensure a secure and sustainable
energy future for South Africa.
So fill out the registration form and return it to us as soon as possible.
