Motor manufacturer, Renault-Nissan Alliance, has applauded South Africa in its endevour to become the continent’s leader in clean-energy generation. The country hopes to build one of the world’s biggest solar power plants to increase access to electricity while simultaneously reducing the region’s dependence on fossil fuels. Giant mirrors and solar panels would dot the Northern Cape province, which ranks in the three percent of sunniest regions worldwide. The Alliance is currently showcasing its electricity powered vehicles at the climate change talks in Durban. The vehicles are on the streets as shuttles for COP17 delegates. The conference started on the 28th of December and will end on the 9th of January.
