TruePeople, there are a few persons in the Bahamas that have the ability and know how to do a project like that. There will always be a foreign partner (for warranty or financing) involved, but that has nothing to do with the Bahamas, this is same in Uruguay, Chile everywhere. Reality is that China is our best friend and we don't ask them to set this up for us. Really stupid China finances solar parks in Zambia, South Africa, Chile all over the planet. I have been part of three submissions to the Gov of the Bahamas of Solar and Renewable Generation Plants (2 for New Providence and 1 for Cat Island). All of them died on the table of the responsible minister. I can only speculate about the reasons, but they have to do with how business gets done, lack of knowledge, and unwillingness to do business beyond the inner circles. All this would not happen if we had the FOIA. This is and must be the first priority for all upstanding Bahamians. Corruption backdoor deals, lack of competence, unclean submission concepts, hidden agendas, non-published regulations are killing the economy of this country.
Time for Xanax for Mr. Diplomat. I am not surprised that the Bahamas is off on the wrong foot with the U.S. with a stellar diplomatic team like that in Washington.
I think its good for people that have no insurance. Now do the next step and try to get something done with your new insurance. go to the doctor, even PHA and see what happens next.
