Although President Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation Address rightly focussed on the urgent need for job creation and energy security in South Africa, he failed to see how renewable energy has an important role to play in fulfilling both goals.

10,000 people in Thailand took to the streets near their homes to oppose dirty energy. Their goal: protect their province from coal plants slated to be built by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand.

New decisions by the DRC government mean that up to 25 million hectares of Congolese rainforest could be sacrificed for industrial exploitation.

On the first day of Zuma’s state visit to France, we urge him not to fall into a dangerous trap set by the French nuclear industry. Instead, we'd like him to learn from France's nuclear failures and invest in our renewable energy industry.

With the announcement of cooperation agreements having been signed between South African and French energy companies, Greenpeace reiterates its call to President Zuma not to fall into the dangerous trap of nuclear energy.
