Carte
Blanche a local South African television program that discusses issues around
the country caught onto the acid mine problem. In March 2011 the show spoke to
Richard Doyle the managing director of Earth. His solution and perspective to
the solution is somewhat different. The trend that Carte Blanch uncovered is
that private companies were exploiting the issue of acid mine water to benefit
sales of water purifiers and other similar technologies. Richard Doyle says
that what differentiates their company is that they focus on the salt problem
as well as purifying water. His company is “turning the salts into fertilizers and explosives and its attracting
a lot of interest from overseas. What's best about his solutions thus far is
that it creates it's own income and will not cost the taxpayer the money to fix
the AMD problem.” (Carte Blanche. March 6th 2011).
