Electricity pylons are seen at the Lethabo Power Station in the Free State Province, about 70km (43 miles) south of Johannesburg, November 27, 2011. Major parties have been at loggerheads for years, warnings of climate disaster are becoming more dire and diplomats worry whether host South Africa is up to the challenge of brokering the tough discussions among nearly 200 countries that run from November 28 to December 9 in the coastal city of Durban.
