Duurzame energie vervangt kerncentrales en verlaagt tegelijkertijd CO2 emissies
Duurzame energie vervangt kerncentrales en verlaagt tegelijkertijd CO2 emissies
Een mythe waard door de Engelstalige wereld (en door Nederland): naar verluidt stijgt de CO2 uitstoot in Duitsland omdat hernieuwbare energiebronnen nucleaire energie niet kunnen vervangen – en dat Frankrijk gelijk heeft om te kiezen voor kernenergie. Wat laten de gegevens zien? Craig Morris onderzoekt het.

Gastbijdrage: Duitslands elektriciteitsconsumptie in 2017
ANALYSE – Gebaseerd op voorlopige cijfers voor 2017 is de productie van groene stroom in Duitsland met een recordhoeveelheid gegroeid. De productie van kolenstroom daalde ook merkbaar, terwijl de hoeveelheid kernenergie afnam en de stroomexport recordhoogte bereikte. Maar één groot nieuwswaardig feit wordt mogelijk over het hoofd gezien tussen alle nieuwe records. Craig Morris duikt in de cijfers.

Gastbijdrage: Nederland stapt af van zijn gas
Nieuwe vertaling @ppchef: Nederland stapt van zijn gas af
ANALYSE – Nederland: het land van windmolens, tulpen… en een van ’s wereld tien grootste gasvelden. Maar wat ooit gezien werd als een zegen wordt in toenemende mate gezien als een ding van het verleden. Craig Morris vraagt zich af: is het tijd om te breken met de Nederlandse traditie van ‘prettige voortzetting’?
Je eerste Nederlandse zin van de dag: smakelijk eten. Ongeveer 98 percent van de…

Gastbijdrage: Productie hernieuwbare energie stagneert in Duitsland in 2016
ANALYSE – Na de sterke groei in 2015 vertoont het aandeel hernieuwbare energie in Duitsland nauwelijks veranderingen in het afgelopen jaar. Eigenlijk is het meest verrassende de verandering in aardgas. Craig Morris duikt in de cijfers.

Review: Johnny Boskak is Feeling Funny

In a country like South Africa where the political climate has changed drastically since 1994, identities have shifted a great deal. I recall a conversation where we sought to pinpoint what it means to be the average South African; the discussion yielded little fruit – the people of this beautiful land simply are not homogeneous enough to determine an average.
There are simply too many variables to consider and this is why Johnny Boskak is intriguing because it presents a South African we can all recognise if not identify with.
With only a tog bag and a chevron guard rail aiding as props, the solo theatre piece opens with Johnny (played by Craig Morris) hitchhiking to get away from Durban. We soon learn about the demon that chased him from his hometown in a sequence that simulates a dream involving a conversation with the Devil and Jesus. Johnny, is a troubled man given his history in the SANDF of the former government.

We are then taken on a whirlwind adventure that has all the makings of a thrilling road trip film. The story in itself is a dichotomous tale of disparity and conflicting identity in an ever-changing world along with an heart wrenching story of love. The story draws on a lot of familiar places that are easy to identify with, from the small towns and the distinct accents.
It is easy to see how the play won both a Golden Ovation and Naledi awards in its debut year, it hits all the right notes. Craig gives a captivating performance that quickly makes the rhyme scheme lines as written by Creig Coetzee more than tolerable. The collaborative direction between himself and Roslyn Wood-Morris adopts nuanced and understated telling that is equal parts comedic and tragic, both necessary elements for an enjoyable tale.
