Who in their right mind is going to want to build a datacentre here? Electricity, real estate, and qualified labour are in short supply. Is he just saying things for the sake of saying things?
Dopes. How does your hairstyle affect your education? You are producing students with a D average, many of whom can't even properly read or write, and you are concerned about how their hair is arranged?
The average three bedroom house in North America uses about 30kwh of electricity per day. Charging an electric car takes 50kwh. Do the math. We have introduced a massive additional load on to an already struggling "grid". Substantial taxes need to be levied on the import of these rolling disasters to pay for the required infrastructure to support them.
Why is the government still meddling in private enterprise? Their job is to govern, not to provide water, electricity, telecoms. Look at how much better Internet access and cell phones got when the government monopoly was replaced by a competent private company. Instead we are going backwards, with GBPC getting nationalized.
Or how about Crystal Palace and Nassau Beach hotels under government management vs private hands. Which would you prefer?
I'm a huge proponent of EVs and hybrids, but the people buying these wish.com cars certainly aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Unfortunately for them they'll still be on the hook for the loan while their knockoff Land Rover is a lawn ornament.
What short memories we have. About ten or fifteen years ago someone was importing Chinese vehicles. Every last one of them ended up rusting away to nothing in short order, and are probably all piled up at the dump. All these fancy new cars look nice, but you'll soon see them broken down in people's driveways and backyards.

Can we stop pretending that government employees are capable of running anything properly?
Lets try a little thought experiment here.
Doctor's Hospital vs PMH?
Aliv vs BTC?
Nassau Beach Hotel vs Bahamar?
JetBlue vs Bahamasair?
Show me one example of the government run institution being more efficient and providing a better product than the private company.
