CCAP Livingstonia Synod general secretary Levi Nyondo has threatened the church would exhume the body of heroine and historic figure...
We could have our own nuclear plant with Kayelekela uranium by now, thanks to the greed of Bingu and his cousins! Mxiii!
Nanu inu apa, exaggerating “heavy”.
Nuclear plants need nuclear technology and engineering. And big money. Where would the investment come from, and who would build and manage such a plant, in our “bush” coiuntry?
The most painful thing is that Americans and Chinese have the long life expectancy while relying heavily on coal while we Malawians with no any coal plant have the lowest life expectancy but still fearing death to the extent of wanting to cancel this development.
We must have been under a certain spell.
The author of this article must be stupid to the highest order. I personally have had some piece work with Vale Emirates which is extracting coal in Moatize,Tete,Mozambique. I had some conversation with a certain Brazilian who happens to be the manager of a particular department am involved there, I asked him why his company is still investing heavily and would like to double production amid these global green gas initiatives? His response was just simple and straight forward that there shall be no any alternative to replace coal as a source of energy for heavy industries,their willing to double… Read more »
J K. YOU DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WRITER OF THE ARTICLE ABOVE IS TALKING ABOUT. YOUR COMMENT IS IN THE NEGATIVE. BUT, HE HAS SAID THE TRUETH. WHAT HE IS SIMPLY SAYING IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVEST IN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF ENERGY WHICH IS INVIRONMENT FRIENDLY. E.G – WIND ENERGY AND SOLAR ENERGY. WIND ENERGY – KUMANGOCHI HARNESS THE WIND THAT IS ALWAYS THERE AT THE LAKE SHORES . SOLAR ENERGY – LOWERSHIRE WHERE THERE IS SUNSHINE ALMOST ALL YEAR ROUND.

BRING THOSE TREATIES HERE SO THAT WE CAN UNSIGN THEM! DONT TIE THE COUNTRY TO YOUR STUPID TREATIES! THEY MAY HAVE MADE SENSE THEN BUT NOT NOW!!!!!!
THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE MUST BE VERY STUPID. IS IT ONLY MALAWI THAT SHOULD MIND ABOUT OZONE LAYER? OTHER COUNTRIES ARE RUNNING COAL MINES, WHY NOT MALAWI. GO TO HARARE, JOHANNESBURG, ETC, YOU WILL SEE ALL THESE COAL POWERED PLANTS RIGHT IN THE CITIES. SOMETIMES I GET BUFFLED BY THESE SO CALLED ENVIROMENTALISTS WHO OPPOSE EVERYTHING INCLUDING OIL DRILLING FOR THE SAKE OF ENVIRONMENT AND YET OTHER COUNTRIES ARE MOVING FORWARD. IF COAL IS SUCH TOXIC, PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BE MOVED TO OTHER AREAS. WE NEED DEVELOPMENT, FINISH. WE ARE TIRED OF POVERTY! MUKHALA CHONCHO NDI MASANZA ANUWO.… Read more »
Kamwamba may not have enough coal deposits but the initiative can not fail because of that. Australia is the highest producer and exporter of coal and the product is not used in Australia alone. Coal can be transported from north, south, central to Kamwamba. These are issues of national development, not always thinking in regional lines.
The writer doesn’t know what is going around the globe. China, India and Brazil are in their own industrial revolution right now. They are launching coal power plants massively to run their industries. You can’t develop without industries and development started with coal powered industries in industrial revolution after world war 2. George Bush refused to sign the 1997 Kyoto Protocal of the UNCCC citing some of the reasons: there is going to be massive retrenchment in America, people are going to lose their jobs because companies are going to shut down. The president was concerned of people sufferings because… Read more »
These person against coal is a fool period. South Africa is building more coal power station for their people and what are you talking about. You are a villager who dont know what you are talking about. Kagwere uko.You are staying in nyumba yama getsi and you dont want the rest of population to have electricity.Uli ndi ufiti or you are a witch. Usadzalembenso zopusa zakozo.
We have plenty coal in Rumphi and Karonga. 1st grade coal for that matter. Why take the project to Kammwamba instead of Kaziwiziwi or Mwenilondo. Why waste the much needed forex by importing second grade coal from Moertz in Mozambique. Shame on Government on what it is doing.
