Another reason (or two) to not be building coal power stations

To run coal power stations, Eskom needs 1) coal and 2) water.

1) Coal – we don’t have enough. The world does not have enough. We don’t have enough oil either, and thanks to SASOL Coal = Oil. Thus the price is going to go through the roof. Thus running coal fired power stations will become expensive.

2) Water – we don’t have enough. And dry-cooling is expensive.
