We always talking about Bahamian ownership. How come no Bahamians were able to close a deal. Most of these activists and pundits think these things are easy to do. This was a very low hanging fruit and yet no Bahamian was able to get it done. Then we wonder why we are not major payers in the hotel industry.
This report is ridiculous. It is saying that we must give up tourism and fishing if we embrace oil. Why can't all co-exist? Oil drilling is much cleaner and safer today with precision technology and spill prevention control. We have ships loaded with oil that pass through our waters every day that are a bigger threat. Let's band them and just use 100% renewable energy and put a blockade on foreign ships. We always talk about diversification but afraid to embrace opportunities. Drill baby drill.
There is nothing wrong with drilling one exploration well. Wells have been dug over the past 80 years and the fishes are still in the sea. Right next door Cuba has been doing it without a negative effect. It is just a look and see. After that, a cap will be placed on it. If nothing is there the story is over because BPC doesn't have the money to do anything else. If there is something there then let's go back to the table and start the consultation process again with even a referendum.
There are three types of oil spill: small, medium and large. The ship can handle a small spill. Oil Spill Response Ltd is on stand by 24 hours a day. They are one of the best in the industry and will handle any medium or large oil spill. Check out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP1Ljmu…
The only real solution to this is a mandatory financial literacy course in high school as a requirement for graduation. Otherwise, the next generation will be just as bad or worst. The flip side is that we need to get more people to save and pursue delayed gratification. Consumption can still occur but without great debt. Saving also leads to real investment and growth.
