Successive governments have this jungle bunny attitude where they spend every penny like a child with extra money in his pocket who spends it all , and never ever think ahead and invest before infrastructure becomes decrepit and outdated. How often have we seen government buildings/police accommodation fall into disrepair when all they needed was paint and maintenance before wood rotted or roof's leaked. The same applies to electricity generation. Just think if all the VAT money squandered by the previous government had been used to update the power plant, which would have brought power costs down and in itself brought about a more dynamic economy.

Sexual favors for financial assistance maybe, but prostitution? And this is a wake up call to all Bahamians. No not The prostitution claim, but the fact that the quality of life for the average Bahamian has eroded steadily since 2008. And despite the many sacrifices, many hare still finding it difficult to make ends meet. And unfortunately things have not yet hit the bottom. With the continued pressure on businesses by government and the increases in the cost of doing business, many businesses will have to increase their prices. Others will have to close. Just hope this country doesn’t get to the point of not women selling their bodies to pay utility bills, but going into food stores to find empty shelves or having to fight another for the last package of something. It has already happened in many countries around the world, and some not too far from The Bahamas. Perilous times will come.

The price of oil has fallen 20 percent in the last five weeks. The demand for oil is decreasing. And OPEC is worried. Is this an indication that the world economy is slowing or the shift to alternative fuels is growing? OPEC would normally cut back production to maintain the price of oil but even with Iranian oil being blocked off the market the price continues to fall. Some projoit will hit a low of $40 within weeks. And this will be the first time OPEC cutting back on production will not maintain the price of oil because there is now ay abaundant supply of alternative and renewable energy. And if the economy is slowing that will make a greater consumer market for fuel. So by January/February the50-65% increases in BPL bills should disappear.

Crude oil prices on the world market go down .......... but gas/diesel prices do not really reflect that in our country ........... and it is nothing to do with delayed delivery either.

Gas prices have already dropped at local pumps by 20 cents this week alone.

On the Out Islands, we sure do not see any change ........ places still paying $7.00 a gallon and more from 55 gallon drums.

It would be interesting to find out how he knows this.

Secondly, any woman prostituting herself to pay electricity bills is probably used to doing it to buy their weaves, get their nails done and buy groceries and minutes for their phone!

He (Maynard) should know.

We've been in an electricity crisis for as long as we have been an independent country... that and corrupt wapless gubmints for our entire history = it's only better in the Bahamas if you don't actually live here!!

A lot of this cost issue is actually due to socialist policies. Gov't took a decision decades ago that all bahamians should have access to electricity.. good idea. However the method you have to disagree with.. BEC provide the power infrastructure, etc., then let ALL bahamians pay for it not just the users? There must be a better, more efficient way. Asking a Nassau businessman or resident to pay more for light so a guy in Rum Cay or Ragged Island can have electricity hurts everyone. If you choose to live off the grid as they say, you need to understand what that means. Yes those folks see a better lifestyle with this socialist policy, but the entire country suffers as a result. In the final analysis, it is unsustainable.

OK ............ what does it cost to generate BPL electricity on each island .... Andros, Exuma, Eleuthera, Inagua etc ............ Let the people know what is really creating the high cost of BPL across the country ......... The explanation from the BPL bosses is always so vague ........... Who is stealing the most diesel??? ......... Who is making the most "overtime"??? ...........Who is wasting the most transmission power or not maintaining their engines??? ............ Which island customers are not paying their bills????
