Hon Deputy Chairperson, on behalf of Cope I give notice that, at the next sitting of the Council, I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes the continued heavy reliance of South Africa on coal to generate electricity, with 90% of our electricity supply coming from this source;
2) further notes the negative message that this will send out to the world, seeing that our country will be hosting the UN climate talks later this year; and
3) acknowledges the need for government to balance the interest of the present generation with that of those who will succeed us and migrate to clean and sustainable energy technologies without delay.
