    "The answer of course is to invest in renewables"

    Except that that isn't the real truth of the matter, as has been pointed out ad infinitum. The reason gas (and diesel) generation is still running in S.A. is that the very same renewables, that you fetishise constantly, DEMAND IT. Demand it to fill-in all those gaps in delivery created by your intermittent windmills and heat pads. Full accounting for the cost of renewables necessarily INCLUDES the cost of whatever has to fill-in these gaps, in the case of S.A. this would be the DINOSAUR-GAS!
