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.
My family and I, heavily rely on our diesel generator to maintain the energy supply to our home. We have no other choice. It is a sad fact that our nations capital energy supplier is simply not able to provide even basic electrical service. Excuse after excuse. Year after year. At this point, BPL is nothing but a failure.
The Flamingo Air history is/was a shocking road map leading up to the fatal flight. In my opinion, it is past time for the business to be forcibly shutdown for many apparent safety issues.
"Research by Harvard University has long found that 90% of Chinese people are satisfied with their government". I believe this statistic. I also believe that in the Peoples Republic of China speaking out against the Government will cause you and your family to be detained.

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.

And it continues. I might as well secure an ongoing supply of diesel and run my generator(s) full time. Pathetic !!
