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.

This is a free country. Everyone deserves the chance to explore the possibilities. That is what makes democracy great.

The article does not state who is funding the redevelopment of the airport and who the owner will be.

Why is no one saying what has been done to prevent another flooding? To simply rebuild is crazy.

Yes. Many people have been doing that.

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.

All of the comments against WTO are wrong or misleading. The data does not support Mr Roberts or the anti-WTO activists. None of their fears is realistic.
By 2028, The Bahamas will be the only country in the entire world not in WTO. The cost of doing business with the rest of the world will increase substantially. Local entrepreneurs could find more barriers to international trade. Becoming a global tech hub would encur challenges. The government will not be forced to implement the world-class standards that will ultimately benefit all. Foreign Direct Investment could slow down with better options from others. The numerous disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
It is always better to have a seat at the table than be the meal on it. We need to look at the big picture than being concerned about small petty stuff.

There is nothing wrong with giving concessions. Every country in the world does it. We ought to be happy to be getting these investments at this time. There is no concession available to foreigners that are not available to Bahamians. Some times we have to stop looking for the bad in everything. Since the last election, we have seen more local and foreign investment in the country than in any other comparable period of time.
