@aki thanks for the reply funny thing is I remember burning the cookery socket in the kitchen the one with the in-built light. Guess it comes down to the workmanship or wrong cable choice. I think as someone on list said it's a shame that after all this years we still to have reliable power supply. Also if we going nuclear what we going to do with the waste plus do we have a program to get the necessary man power trained

Hey @kris, that problem of the burnt out cooker socket is a combination of extemely poor workmanship and wrong choice of cable, imo. The nuclear choice seems the only viable option but it should not be located too far from the city. The overhead cable losses over great distances is too much. Bad workmanship and a lack of attention to detail could lead to this, worst case scenario : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxD44HO8dNQ . Unfortunately Green energy and all other initiatives still has a long way to go to fill the power generation demands needed in metro cities, thus can only supplement a fraction of the needs. My view.

Maybe @Areba can add more on this.

Rgds. :-)
