BPL has a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG not LNG!) Fuel proposal on their desk which would cut fuel cost by 1/3rd. The Shell Oil Oligarchs are holding you Hostage.
CNG is not cryogenic gas (as is LNG), thus no need to warm the fuel with warm water, using some of the fuel YOU paid for. If they use coastal warm seawater, the cold water discharge will kill local reefs & fish that protect the island... your choice, not theirs !!!!

Corruption and accepting mediocre service is the fastest way to loose productivity in any workforce. government has a role.
i recall a year of working in Venezuela, where a populous govt made firing an employee very expensive, with a high severance pay. The result was immediate downturn in productivity with most employed doing what they could to be expelled, including criminal activity.
The popular statement was "has'lo tu", you need it done? Do it yourself!
We all know where that got them...
If you pay fairly per cost of living, then Demand Fair Service... walk away from mediocrity. Competitive productivity benefits all.

And the cost of demolishing/recycling is higher & more detrimental than a gallon of bleach with water!!!
If the infrastructure is wrong fix it, fool!
A large fork truck will move the domes to better locations. Secured for reuse after next hurricane hit.
Government with no foresight is blindly spending taxpayers limited funds. Soon to run out.

Yet BPL still using dirty bunker, expensive diesel & kerosene to provide climate dirty eratic power. When there are proposals for cleaner, cheaper, natural gas on their desks for four years+ !!!!.
No decision while the ink fades... international investors want to see what you are doing for your country BEFORE they open THEIR checkbooks.
I.e.: Teenagers, clean up you room, then clean up the world... Mother's favorite statement.

When one grows up in a world of multitudes of church based gatherings & conferences, lead by 'talking heads'with 'no-action' bodies. It should be no surprise that our political leadership should prioritize traveling to 'any- reason' resultless conferences at the expence of the working man on the street!
Today, one can attend any meeting or conference on line, without the cost of room & board... Oh yeah it requires a steady, secure internet. Yes, your streetlight can provide wifii, if your government wants.
It would be nice for them to share their accumulated credit miles to families who can not afford medical travels.

Mold problem? Ever hear of Clorox & Water as a cleaning agent?
Fiberglass interiors will hold moisture if not well ventilated, mold is attracted to this high humidity, as all boat owners know. Destruction is mandated only when mold enters the insulation & cannot be treated, a rarity. Solar ventilators are cheap & easy to install.
Should be repurposed as mini shops, storage sheds, home offices, workshop offices. Etc.
What ya doing with fiberglass parts? Burning is highly toxic.
A ridiculous outcome to a wasteful concept of a solution. As in any type of structure, Domes were workable if assembled correctly, not so closely concentrated, maintained.

Recipe for maintaining a Corrupt 3rd World Nation:
The first step in controling the populous is to promote ignorance in education. Give Just Enough Schooling to function at the most minimal levels. They will not challenge what they do not understand.
Second, Provide Minimal Chaotic Services while maintaining there is Not Enough Money to improve... thus the people will be satisfied with the little received.
Third, Tax The Hell Out Of Them, keep them distracted with the constant Efforts to Survive in today's high cost of living.
Fourth, Maintain a Governing Superiority Class. The Good Ol'Boys Society limiting newcomers with ideas.
Fifth, Foster a Competative Criminal Class to Justify a Weak Judiciary.
Sixth, maintain a Historical Race Card for Today's Every Ill, instead of an Honest Christian Resolution for the last 40+years of independence.
Begg for Everything you can get from others, no need for Proud Personal Resilience.

Sound Familiar? ...Mix & Heat at Will...It is a Common Recipe.

No mater the Party in Power.
I'm reminded of a piece of movie dialog, just add 'bahamas' to:
"...you can't handle the truth !!..."
As a Society, are we mature enough? Yes! ...it is The Parties that are fearful of Truth & Sunshine..

Are we proud of government services yet? Courting foreign investors, ignoring and turning their backs once the checks have cleared. Not even the courtesy of a response!!.
Not a unique example as the investment world watches. Is this how the red-carpet is rolled out? Be careful of the holes & wrinkles.
Ever wonder why we attract the interest of highly parasitic investor types? Birds of similar feathers often flock together. If government has no respect, why should we? ...a common 3rd world mindset which needs to change if we want to become more than those with our begging-cups out.

Where are the church leaders? Are we not a Christian country with a powerful Christian Council asking for contributions each week? Church leaders are the bridge & communicators, the moral examples for the common man with Govt; not merely administrators/accumulators of wealth.
Youth's group mentality demands leadership & example. Gangland Ghetto leadership or Religious, Educators & Sports personalities leadership? Ignoring the need with your head in the Conch Shell does no good. Military discipline is always a good option for undisciplined youth facing jail time.
