Load shedding is no coincidence. Eskom has stated it is “entitled to a 90% increase” and has now applied to increase your electricity costs for 2019. The National Energy Regulator, NERSA has asked for your comment in the increase decision-making process.

(first?) South African #solar farm ready to launch in 2019

Was at the #Eskom expo for young scientists, (aka #ISF or 'International Science Fair") in Boksburg, #SouthAfrica - just looking around at the groovy experiments & designs the high school kids came up with. Managed to introduce 2 of them to #CreativeCommons and #OpenSource licensing.
Bit perturbed that there seemed to be all but zero knowledge about things like #OpenData #OpenInformation #KnowledgeSharing and the like, almost as if Eskom didn't like the idea of #sharing technology or knowledge

It seems *clear* that the majority of users WANT "instance-only" toots. (Users on this instance are among them, even if we're not represented in the thread below)

Do we have a #community and/or #democratic #anarchy - or do we have a #BDFL ?

Maybe a huge public POLL could sort it out?
