"While disagreement abounds on this topic, scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) say that oil production can cause earthquakes, but not the kind reported in the news. According to the Rigorous Intuition, some earthquakes, such as the 2004 quake that triggered a deadly tsunami in Sumatra, occur at plate boundaries where hard, rocky slabs slide against each other to release tremendous amounts of energy. Oil generally is found in permeable sediments that are soft and squishy, not in hard rock. When this squishy land moves, it releases a small amount of energy, which can lead to a "mini-seismic event"-one that is barely detected on the Richter scale. Here's how it works: With high-tech equipment, oil companies pinpoint oil-rich areas and use large drills to puncture the surface below the sea, sometimes as deep as 10,000 feet. As this pricey fluid gets sucked from the sediment pores, the surrounding rocks shift positions to fill in the newly vacated spaces. At a large scale, for example the volume displaced when millions of barrels of oil are produced, the land movement can actually cause a mini-seismic earthquake, according to Robert Morton, a USGS coastal geologist."
If this editorial is not spot on, I don't know what is. The FNM Party needs to pull itself together, and quickly. There may be a need for an internal upheaval. When those in charge of a party do not listen to the voices of The People, they are doomed. The People have been crying loud and often, but the cries are falling on deaf ears. The dictatorial attitude is not good for other loyal party members who may have good intentions and good ideas but are seemingly forced to toe the party line, like it or not.
With no viable opposition in sight, many of the electorate are already saying they will not vote in the next election, so bitter is their disappointment with this FNM. Many will simply vote PLP again. Many are saying the Bahamas is finished. It does not bode well.
I wonder if we could even estimate the cost of this trip, starting with airfare, accommodation, transportation, meals, maybe even a spot of 5th Avenue shopping, for seventeen for nearly a week...........while people are being turned away for surgery at PMH because the air-conditioning is not working in the operating theatre, there are no doctors at Family Island clinics, potholes fill the roads, unemployment is up well over 10%, people are starting to 'window-shop' for groceries, helped in no small part by the advent and increase of Value Added Tax and "web shops" and businesses are failing left right and centre. Perhaps The Doc is 'showing off' to other caricom heads. Whatever reasons he finds for this blatant, unconscionable display of disregard for The People of The Bahamas, the Doc, in my humble opinion, is out to lunch!
