Nope Bantamsklip is still in the nuclear strategy. Eskom's official argument is that they wish to build at Thyspunt and thereafter will reconsider which site of the nuclear identified sitesWhat do you mean? I thought Bantamsklip was shelved years ago? There were big local rumblings but I've not heard anything for ages now.
However Thyspunt was identified in the original site spotting as the least suited, Bantamsklip as the second least suited. But when you understand that there is a land grab and bullshit campaign its very clear - and confirmed in replies from Gibb consulting - that a domino theory is at work. Get approval on the most challenging site and move on down the line.
Anybody in Hermanus who thinks that their uproar is why the focus is on Thyspunt is a moron and needs to get on board with dealing with the actual issue which is the suitability of Eskom commissioning and running an additional nuclear plant anywhere in the Republic - and the associated point that Koeberg needs to be disentangled from the rest of Eskom. Busy prepping to give them hell over the next few weeks.
