Every Tom, Dick and Harry in Latin America are drilling safely offshore and benefiting from it, but the Bahamas. Good will will not give us jobs, but let's hope it does in this case.

Whilst we are at it, let's look around us at every single article that comes from oil and stop using it, starting with our paved roads. Bunch of hypocrites.

I am sure the government is aware of how much taxes we shall collect from any oil produced by the oil company.

I, like many, want one day be free of anything coming from oil, ie, car interiors, tyres, fuel, all the (pots, handles, cups, bowls, gas we find in our kitches), then we have all paints, carpets, clothing, shoes, belts, caps, mattresses, sofas, the external parts of all electronic equipment we all use, including telephones, chargers and headphones! Now the food wrappers! God knows, I haven't even scraped the top! The worst is that for manufacturing of all these things jobs are created and taxes collected.

Until that day arrive we should all say no to another oil drill and the billions of dollars that income could generate to our country, not to mention possible 1st generation job creation? I am sorry, but the job should be carried out efficiently and our country should collect the taxes to benefit our population. That's how it works in other countries and should also be done here.
