Robert Kagan lost all of his relevance when he endorsed Hillary Clinton for US President in 2016. Subsequently, he has continued his downward spiral, and is now relegated to supplying quotes for Stateside. LOL !

One other "lesson" to take away from your visit to China, your CCP handlers closely controlled and monitored everything.

Laughable exchange.

The fact that this interaction took place is another example of all around failure. Our electrical grid can be improved, but, it will take completely new Leadership and Management, significant financial investment, and time. We didn't get here overnight, and there is a large amount of work to be done.

Unfortunately, even if properly managed and deliberately undertaken, it will be a stressful process for the population.

Really, our sovereign entity is incapable of providing reliable electrical service.

"One overtime record from Christmas week shows an employee recorded as working 18 hours on Christmas Day, followed by 24 hours on December 26, another 24 hours on December 27 and 24 hours again on December 28 — a total of 90 hours over four consecutive days."

A prime example of the larger problem. Leadership, Management, and Supervisors are inept and missing.

When a basic service such as safe and reliable electricity becomes completely unreliable, what are individuals and businesses supposed to do ? Bahamian citizens have experienced this problem for many years, and we deserve better. Excuse after excuse, outage after outage, we have heard the same talking points over and over. Of course generators will be used to supplement and make up the energy supply whenever possible. With proper leadership and management all of the reliability problems in our nations capital could/should have been addressed decades ago.

Again, what are we supposed to do? Wake up citizens !!

Well said Island Warrior. Spot on. Wake up Bahamian citizens !!

Pathetic admission of failure. How is this discovery possible this late in the process? Feasibility and design must have been ignored or overlooked. Wake up citizens !!

Capacity to generate electricity is one issue......being able to reliably deliver the electricity is another. Currently, BPL apparently has the capacity to generate enough electrical energy.....but cannot reliably deliver it. It seems the inept BPL/Government leadership has failed to implement the needed transmission and distribution system upgrades that were promised in order to reliably supply energy to the Bahamian people. And so, the problems will continue....no matter if LNG or any other fuel is utilized to produce the power.

The best type of relief for the citizens would be a consistently safe and reliable energy supply. It is a basic service in modern society.
