FYI, the nearest "petro state" is Trinidad. The government-owned oil company petrotrin employs 10,000 Trinidadians and is engaged in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons and the processing and marketing of petroleum products. Trinidad has little unemployment, no problem attracting foreign investment. Trinidad children have a future! In Bahamas where I live, all the banks have left, there is no foreign investment, the country owes $9 billion and we have porcupines that wish to shut out foreign investment like BPC. Please do your homework.
When commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are hopefully found in this country, one may consider what happened in Trinidad.. Petrotrin is a Trinidad government owned company that has up to 10,000 employees engaged in the exploration, development oh hydrocarbons and the manufacturing and marketing of petroleum products It was the successor to Shell Trinidad and Texaco. Don't we need this sort of thing for the future of our country at a time that tourism is in deep trouble.
"Oil exploration is bad,bad,bad. Nothing to gain, everything to lose".
Lets do some homework; -Does anyone know that 6 wells have already been drilled in the Bahamas over the last 60 years..no problem! - Why is there no similar hysteria in Tririidad, Guyana, Cuba, Mexico ,the USA and alt least 50 other countries that permit offshore oil exploration and wish to develop their natural resources???
Please answer these basic questions before you dribble on. Also porcupines are not native to Bahamas.
