WILLIAM BOARDMAN: In 2009, the South African government announced a
major energy plan to construct two new coal-fired power stations. The
project, which aimed at building the world’s largest coal plants, came
under intense criticism by various governments and climate activists,
who saw it as a disastrous blow to the fight against climate change.
Yet newly released emails from presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
during her time as Secretary of State, reveal that she acted in support
of a World Bank loan for the construction of one of the plants.
