A new advocacy group advancing Africa’s need to adopt multiple/mixed sources of energy including nuclear without hindrance and any influencers finding excuses, as is always the case, has hit the world stage with a bang. The RePlanet Africa, a grassroots movement founded a few years ago, strongly argues that Africa should pursue in earnest, a mixed energy package, without undue influence to governments and the people. Instead, they argue, governments should seek substantial funding from the World Bank and other multilateral financial institutions, to equip the continent with adequate power, not merely lighting bulbs.
