I would argue... Africa has remained poor exactly because it has not developed its coal resource and build sufficient low cost reliable coal power stations

Only South Africa did so... with the result that it became the best developed African nation... now mismanagement and several other factors is threatening South Africa

I suggest the www.unpopular-truth.com that Africa needs to urgently need coal fired power stations to catch up with other developing nations. Cola is abundant and safe and low cost. Best coal technology is very efficient and clean with amazingly low emissions

What would a search for general news of energy production in the same region show? Is the news that coal is dead in Africa, or that energy development is dead in Africa? The later case would be bad news.
