Several hundred wells have been drilled offshore Cuba, Trinidad and in particular Guyana....... No pollution reported.
Wells are planned for offshore Jamaica and Barbados. No hysteria.

The target is a big seismic structure which has already been drilled 3 times on the Cuban side with no success by the Russians, the Americans and by the Spanish. Regrettably, the stratigraphy lacks the presence of salt which is often necessary to seal any oil pool, if present..

Well said moncurcool. Hypocrisy abounds!
The peoples of Trinidad and Guyana are very much enriched by the development of their natural resources
Bahamas can ill afford the doubling of electricity costs by switching to renewables (wind and solar) as well as the horrible environmental damage caused by the landfill dumping of dead wind turbines and out-of-service solar panels after only 10 to 12 years of use in our salty air.
None of the so called "none profit" organizations are qualified to render acceptable opinions.

The change from 7 to 5 day COVID test regulation will kill Bahamas tourism. 5 days is far too tight particularly for Canadians and others.

ColumbusPillow says...

Its next to impossible for Canadians arriving by air to meet the 5 day limit (changed from 7 day limit on Oct31). Bahamas tourism is dead this year.

The rapid antigen test has been approved in Canada, USA, the UK, etc.
It can be done in 15minutes. The RT-PCR test involves queuing for up to 6 hours and waiting as much as a week for the result. And there have been several reports of false positives!
Can the minister please give references that claim that the antigen test is inferior?.
