Grasping at straws while gaslighting environmentalists reflects an ageing sentimentality for coal
First, we must lay out the facts of the Medupi power station clearly. The project is offensively over budget, and its completion is painfully delayed. The initial cost was projected at R80bn; this swelled to R234bn in 2019. Mired with design issues due to corruption, according to some experts, Medupi's final unit only achieved commercial operation in August this year. Muller seems to propose that Medupi is the victim of an imagined injustice.
Muller seems to suggest that we continue to toxify the air and threaten the future of all life on this planet with these pollutants, because one of them — SOpollution has also been linked to thousands of annual deaths and other health problems in the highveld. These areas are not sparsely populated, as Muller says in his article; there are people living there, and there are also people dying there.
