Tell me, if we do go ahead drilling, how much will the people of the Bahamas actually benefit. Bahamas Petroleum is not a state owned entity. All the money will be taken out of the country as usual and only the pockets of Bahamians that are already wealthy (mostly Politicians) will get some of the crumbs from their shares.

Agreed, no plans have bern made as to what will be done for the country with the wealth generated either.

The thing I'm not hearing is the plan for this oil. What do the Bahamian people stand to gain from this oil. Will we be like Dubai and Norway or simply have to standby as our natural resources are destroyed and a few Bahamian millionaires become richer? I would love to hear an honest, knowledgeable answer. P.S. before you answer do your research.
