Coal Mining in South Africa | Earth Focus | Season 3, Episode 2 | PBS SoCal

South Africa faces a stark reality as the continent’s largest greenhouse gas emitter. More than 80% of power generation comes from coal, with 11 coal power plants turning the province of Mpumalanga into one of the most polluted areas of the world. As the world moves away from fossil fuels and major global investors pull out, renewable energy fights to forge the future. The tension is palpable among the government, coal producers, workers, and the environment in a post-apartheid South Africa facing pressing developmental challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality. 00:00-02:27 Introduction 02:27-08:35 Coal's Impact on Health 08:35-12:14 Government Mismanagement of Coal 12:14-16:38 The Rise of Artisanal Mining 16:38-20:31 Pollution's Impact on the Larger Economy 20:31-23:46 The Potential for Renewable Energy 23:46-26:10 Conclusion 26:10-26:40 Credits Want to learn more?
