The country is finished economically if oil is NOT discovered. If it is and the correct safety protocols are in place then there is no reason why the country cannot take the reward it desperately needs. There are plenty of sea based oil production areas in the world which have never had an oil spill so no reason why the Bahamas cannot be the same. This is a chance to rebuild after Covid and Dorian, the people deserve it.
All you people who think that drilling for oil should be stopped need their heads tested. How on earth do you the think the Bahamas are going to be able to rebuild sufficiently after Dorian? How long do you think it will be before you have to start paying income tax like the rest of the world ? Heard of Covid 19 ? just in case the majority of you 6% gcse passers who post on here its devastated an already fragile economy. If you think that the Bahamas is wealthy because you have some private ships up at Albany and loads of Old money at Lyford that you can overcharge for services, then think on. By all means all environmental safety is paramount and its up to the lifeless Govt. to actually put itself out to ensure that this is vigorously policed This is an opportunity to pull out of this with all the investment that will follow into New Providence and the rest, let alone the royalties. Don’t pass this up or God save the lot of you

‘ Ill conceived ‘ ? What do they base that on ? If there is oil there, get it out and start giving Bahamians the support they really need.
