Hardly news, Rodney; rather fatalistic defeatism. You thus position yourself within a wide range of opinion that in one way or another poo-poos the potential for a just transition to renewable energy. 

Hardly surprising that FFF tables inflated guesstimates of employment by its members and ignores the net employment potential of moving away from concentrated energy (so convenient to concentrating wealth) - the viability of on-going investment strategy and massive expected profits are at stake.
Reason in your care-less comment is absent. If you have a pension you are almost certainly invested in maintenance of the energy incumbency, incl.perpetuation of coal combustion in SA. While understandably of less immediate concern to you than the possibility of perverse nuclear procurement, likelihood that Zuma and his minister will prevail is delining. Hence FFF alarmist tactics against renewables.
We could shift to an energy system for people before profit, IF enough people care to demand it.
