I agree with you 100%. I live in Long Island and I would like to put up sufficient solar panels to cover my entire energy needs. I would even be willing to go beyond 100% so that I could sell clean energy back to BPL, but I am limited to a mere 4kw because they do want Bahamians off the grid or generating clean energy, they want us to be shackled to an inefficient monopoly BPL forever. Worse yet is the paperwork. I understand not even the very first application to put in solar has been forwarded from BPL offices in Long Island to URCA to be approved. All to enslave Bahamians to govt owned BPL. This is over a YEAR. This govt words are worthless when talking about renewable energy. A total SHAM, not even worth the breath used to utter them. We are mired in the inefficient past. I am very angry and intend to raise this issue with my parliamentary representative.
You know what the real killer is added sugar, specifically in this case fructose. Leading to an obesity epidemic in this country. Heavily tax these sugary drinks to pay for the health problems they cause. These businessmen are more concerned about profits that the health of Bahamians.
Well said. We have an endemic problem in this country of partisans (of either party) all too willing to put party before country, self interest before that of the common good. It is at the root of almost all our problems.
Shame on the FNM. This is a blatant conflict of interest, plain and simple and no spin can change that truth. How greedy is Mr. Symonette? Apparently very greedy and more concerned with graft than his reputation. Very sad, expected better of him and the FNM leadership. It seems we have replaced a greedy corrupt government with one just a bit better but greedy and corrupt nonetheless.
BOB is in reality one gigantic slush fund paid for by tax payer dollars. Of course it is now in the black but for how long and at what cost with over a 300 million dollar subsidy? How about a radical concept, privatize this Bank, thus removing corrupt government control and influence and remove this continuing liability from the government’s balance sheet. I am tired of my hard earned tax dollars propping up this losing entity.
Why mr. prime minister? Do you realize we are broke, stop wasting our precious money on frivolous and unnecessary trips. Take the money we save and send a doctor to Simms clinic in Long Island which has been without one for many months. This is a much more urgent need than your trips!!!!!!!
About damn time. Justice for all. Nygard needs to be declared persona non grata and let him bribe his way in some other country. It is the people’s time now.
Mr. Coulson can we have a follow up to this article you wrote. Your advice has been proven to be spectacularly wrong and you owe an explanation to your readers. Cable’s share price continues to crater ( currently $2.30) and there have been seven consecutive quarters of losses, with the latest quarter over a month late presumably with more bad news. You were very enthusiastic in your assertion that Cable was undervalued, can we have an update please. A mea culpa is certainly in order.
