All that is being said , seems good on the surface, **But Firstly** how will all of this really affect us as Bahamians? Do we even know the short term and long term affects, what kind of studies are being drafted or has been done regards the Oil exploration and its affects on us as citizenry? What about our wild life and natural resources and what about oil spills and containment? " I should not have to remind of the oh so recent BP oil slick and spill, cleanup and its cost? I think more thought and consideration should be done at this time to safe guard us and the way of life for all of us.
**secondly** look at the financial side of this is impacted by two things 1. Bahamian citizens equal opportunity share 2. Governance of market sharing of such Bahamian resources.
In the past if we've learned anything it should be, that any such undertaking should of been considered by all citizens and a committee for Energy and Resources be formed followed by a "Referendum" this should be considered as we move in a direction of this magnitude as a people. Much can be said but it was said by T. G. Lets move steady sun-ward, Forward, Upward and onward together, as Bahamians.
