Bloomberg:<\/a> South Africa is ahead of its target for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases. … Regular breakdowns of the coal-fired power plants that supply more than 80% of South Africa\u2019s electricity mean that less carbon dioxide is being pumped into the atmosphere and daily rotational cuts<\/a> of more than 10 hours a day are further limiting emissions from factories. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unintentional,\u201d Crispian Olver, the executive director of South Africa\u2019s Presidential Climate Commission, said in an interview in Johannesburg on Monday. \u201cWe reckon we are well within the range\u201d of meeting the 2030 target, he said. …\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to recommend the decommissioning of power stations in the middle of an energy crisis.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
