Maybe Ms. Wilson wants to swap apartment with me to get a good smoke out of it? Of course this stuff is toxic, is she living under a rock?

I think emission caps is a good way to reduce traffic in NP. And putting the government on the spot to finally come up with a concept for public transportation.

give me a break. I have Earth Hour every day then between 10 and 11 am. The Tribune must be really desperate for headlines to print this cheap PR for free.

GrassRoot says...

well this should have been done well before construction. where are the solar panels, the gray water tanks, where is the composting, how does that battery recycling works, this is all cheap PR baloney. The environmental footprint of a mammoth like Baha Mar is irreversible. To hang up a green flag does not make you environmentally responsible. But the Bahamas government always puts money and short term jobs over long term sustainable development.

Its obvious that you can not depreciate an asset beyond its useful life. Not sure whether these guys are running their business like a business. Of course they have to maintain and reinvest, that is why the company got the contract in the first place. No rocket science. Simply greed and short term thinking.

I guess the question is who are the 40% Bahamian shareholder and how do they provide the capital in order to meet the majority rules for companies doing business locally in the Bahamas.

GrassRoot says...

True, he is also the only one that can play the bank. I am sure my NIB money is currently being spent for a consultant to consult a consultant to the government to plan a low income housing programs from which a least one "leading businessman" in the Bahamas will make more money than he deserves. Or maybe they all get the money even without doing the consulting.
