    Show me an exemplary battery source that will work at night when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing, then we'll talk. Communism has yet to offer anything worthwhile to humanity. In fact, bringing politics into such a conversation is a hindrance. Government control of anything only leads to slow stagnation of achieved accomplishments. It's not organic, will cease to improve and will terminate in an endless cycle of breakdown and repair. We are so far away from where this speaker wants to be. Personally I'm not willing to contribute to the further massive scarring and pollution of land anywhere that's necessary to create the batteries that enable the so called sustainable energies. We need to be utilizing more wood burning technologies than we do as it is, at least on a home scale.

    Apartheid fund allocation was just a decision in parliament. The consequences are heartbreaking. Now parliament is making decisions about pollution and the environment, the next generation is going to feel as heart broken as I feel now when the documentary is played. A municipality in the Western cape has banned burying the deceased to allow the flooding to subside first. Schools, roads, hospitals, homes in Western Cape, and KZN...the unfairness in how some can survive it vs. those who are helpless. All heartbreaking

    The Rhisotope project is an interestingly innovative and groundbreaking approach to combat rhino poaching. I am hopeful that such forward-thinking solutions will lead to a significant reduction in poaching incidents and contribute to the long-term preservation of rhino populations. I'm intersted in the ability of a similar technique to track and monitor domestic animals, e.g. cattle, goats, etc. Kudos to everyone involved in this vital project!

    How is this not detrimental to the rhino DNA and the environment when the chips fall out or are thrown into the rivers when poachers dig them out? This does not stop the poaching, they just waste the kill instead and radically destroy the environment… what the heck.
