# The Tshwane University of Technology says there is an urgent need to shift from traditional fossil fuel energy sources to cleaner sources of energy. Research suggests a strong link between increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and extreme weather events. Professor Mandla Msimanga says the conundrum that Africa faces regarding renewable energy is the disconnect between the amount of energy needed to drive factories and that which cleaner sources can reliably supply. He believes that the approach to the energy problem should be measured.
