West Coast One
• Cape Town, South Africa (UPI) Jun 9, 2015• The French government said West Coast One
will offset about 5.6 million tons of carbon dioxide for the next 20 years and help the Zuma government move closer to its 20-year plan to have 42 percent of its electricity needs, or about 17 gigawatts, met by renewable energy. About half of that is allocated to onshore wind.
