How good is the Law without proper enforcement

Below are bits and pieces from South African Act:

"The Strategy takes its mandate from the White Paper on Energy Policy, published in 1998, and links energy sector development with national socio-economic development plans as well as being in line with other Government initiatives. In addition, it provides clear and practical guidelines for the implementation of efficient practices within our economy, including the setting of governance structures for activity development, promotion and coordination."

Perhaps the most difficult area for implementation is the changing of people's
behaviour as promotion of public awareness about the costs and benefits of energy efficiency has been ongoing since 2005. Major energy savings can only be
achieved through changes in people's behaviour, and that depends on informing them about what options exist. The recent Climate Change and Global Warming studies sensitised the nation about the impact that energy use has on the World's weather systems. In this era of climate change the partment of Environment and Tourism has taken the lead with a new modelling study called the Long Term Mitigation Study (LTMS) which looks at the required and urgent measures to reduce CO2 emissions. It is hoped that this Energy Efficiency Strategy will provide a blueprint for this venture.
