Izindaba ezijabulisayo ezivela ku-European Union! Muva nje batshale amabhiliyoni angu-€2 kumaphrojekthi amahle okugqugquzela amandla ahlanzekile nokwenza iplanethi yethu ibe luhlaza. Ungakukholwa? €2 billion! Kufana nokushaya i-jackpot bese uthatha isinqumo sokunikela ngakho konke emizamweni. Amazing awucabangi?
Ngakho-ke yini i-scoop? I-EU inalolu hlelo olubizwa ngeModernization Fund, esebenza njenge umthombo wezimali wamazwe adinga usizo ekuthuthukiseni izinhlelo zawo zamandla kanye nokunciphisa amazinga okungcola. Kulokhu bahlinzeka ngosekelo lwezezimali emazweni ayisishiyagalolunye ukuze kuthuthukiswe amandla awo.
Kugoqelani lokhu? Cabanga ngezindawo ezintsha zomoya eziphefumulayo ukuze ziphehle amaphaneli elanga kagesi amunca imisebe yelanga kahle kanye nokwahlukanisa okuthuthukisiwe kwezakhiwo okunciphisa isidingo sokushisisa noma ukupholisa. Kufana nokusonga indlu ngengubo ukuze ukwazi ukudayela i-thermostat.
Lesi akusona isinyathelo, se-EU. Bebelokhu babele izigidigidi zama-euro kusukela ngo-2021 futhi lo mjikelezo wakamuva woxhaso uyingxenye yesu lokuzuza izinhlelo zamandla ezihlanzekile nezithuthuke kakhulu kulo lonke elaseYurophu ngo-2030. Inhloso yabo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lokho ngenkathi sisebenzisa amadivayisi ethu, izibani nokuzijabulisa sinciphisa ukulimala emhlabeni wethu.
Amazwe amaningana ayazuza kulokhu kutshalwa kwezimali kwama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Lokhu kufaka phakathi iBulgaria, iCroatia nePoland ngayinye inezinhlelo zayo ezihleliwe zokuthuthukisa nokuthuthukisa ukukhiqizwa kwamandla. Isibonelo, iBulgaria ihlose ukuthuthukisa umthamo wayo wegridi ukuze ikwazi ukwamukela inani elikhulu lamandla aluhlaza. I-Croatia inezinjongo zokufaka amaphaneli elanga amaningi kuyilapho i-Czechia (esho i-Czech Republic) ishintsha isuka kumalahle iye kugesi ngezinjongo zokushisisa indawo yokuhlala ukuze kwehliswe amazinga okungcola.
Umthombo walolu xhaso uyamangalisa impela. Isuka ku-EUs Emissions Trading System lapho izinkampani kudingeka ukuthi zikhokhele umthelela wazo. Lapho bedala ukungcoliswa kwemvelo kuba mkhulu umnikelo wabo wezezimali. I-EU ibe isisebenzisa lezi zimali ngokutshala imali kumaphrojekthi anobungane. Kufana nokuqinisekisa ukuthi labo abadala ukungcola nabo bafaka isandla ekuyihlanzeni.
Nokho akunjalo, mayelana nesici sezezimali esihilelekile.
The iyuniyani yase-Europe (I-EU) izibekele imigomo yesimo sezulu futhi isebenza ngenkuthalo ukuze izifezekise. Phakathi kwemizamo yabo bethule iModernization Fund njengengxenye yezinhlelo zabo ezibanzi, njengoHlelo lwe-REPowerEU kanye nephakheji le-Fit For 55. Lezi zinhlelo ziveza umhlahlandlela wazo obheke emhlabeni onempilo, lapho ukukhathazeka ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuncipha.
I-EU ibonisa ukuzibophezela kwayo kule migomo ngokusebenzisana ne-European Commission kanye ne-European Investment Bank ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi izimali zabiwa ngendlela ehlelekile ukuze kube nomthelela.
Ngakho kusho ukuthini lokhu kithi? Kusho ukuthi i-EU ayenzi nje izethembiso kodwa iyazisekela ngokutshala izimali ezinkulu ukusekela izimbangela zemvelo. Kusebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuthi imizamo ebalulekile iyenziwa emhlabeni wonke ukulwa nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu futhi isenzo somuntu ngamunye sibalulekile. Ukuthi isekela izimali ezinkulu, njengalena noma nje ukwandisa imizamo yethu yokuvuselela kabusha sonke sinendima okufanele siyidlale ekulondolozeni ukuphila kwamaplanethi ethu.
Ukuze uhlale unolwazi mayelana nentuthuko mayelana nalesi sikhwama kanye nendlela esiguqula ngayo izinqubo zamandla aluhlaza hlala ubheka imithombo yezindaba futhi uvakashele amawebhusayithi e-EU asemthethweni.
Banayo yonke imininingwane, mayelana namaphrojekthi nokuthi lokhu kuyingxenye yohlelo olukhulu kanjani lokudala ikusasa elingcono nelihlanzekile.
Ngizokubona ngemva kwesikhathi. Nakekela imvelo!
