Agenda1. A Biblical View: setting the scene
1. Re-eh: to see
2. What do we see?3. What does the SA government see?4. What is fracking: the fracker’s view5. What does fracking do: the land owner’s view
(note land owner used in the widest sense; we are all landowners)
6. What do we need in a modern economy7. Discussion

The Old Testament: Re’eh• “See, I set before you this day a blessing and a
curse”• This happens in Deuteronomy Chapter 11 vs
26 just after the Shmah (the Jewish Mantra)וקללה ברכה היום לפניכם אנכי ראה• Anochi: a higher self; our conscience– Ani: I
• KaL: easy, light, simple• KLaLa: An extra L becomes heavy, a curse

The Old Testament: Part 2
• Genesis Ch 1 vs 28 & Ch 9 vs 1– “And He blessed them, be fruitful and multiply
and replenish the earth”– Replenish• Fill up – with people?• Leave as you found it, or make it better than you found
it?• Satiate?
– Jeremiah 31 vs 25: G-d replenishes the soul

The Old Testament: Protect the Environment
• Bal Tashchit– Deuteronomy Ch 20: 19-20– Don’t waste / destroy– When you lay siege and battle against a city for a
long time in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees, wielding an ax against them. You may eat of them, but you must not cut them down.

What do we see?• Electricity Crisis in South Africa• We need electricity now• Fracking: 12 years to get going– No pipeline infrastructure in South Africa– Can SA finish large scale electricity projects?
• Coal: 5 years? R158 billion?– Actual 7 years +– Actual: R260 billion +
• RE cost reductions 75% decrease in 6 years• No learning in Coal, Nuclear, Gas
