Man killed when short causes fire
Authorities told The Herald of Rock Hill that the body of Lucious Waters was found in his bedroom after the blaze was put out.
Lancaster City Fire Chief Chris Nunnery says the fire was confined to the bedroom and it took firefighters about three minutes to put the blaze out.
Nunnery says the fire appears to have started from an electrical short in a drop cord.

Africa's Electricity Unlikely To Go Green This Decade
LONDON - New research today from the University of Oxford predicts that total electricity generation across the African continent will double by 2030, with fossil fuels continuing to dominate the energy mix posing potential risk to global climate change commitments.
The study, published in Nature Energy, uses a state-of-the art machine-learning technique to analyse the pipeline of more than 2,500 currently-planned power plants and their chances of being successfully commissioned. It shows the share of non-hydro renewables in African electricity generation is likely to remain below 10% in 2030, although this varies by region.
