No, but they seem to poke you just the same. Calm dowm Columbo. Stay right in the cold country you hail from.

Amen. Thanks for that.

But, you've heard nothing of the many non-oil industry paid scientists who say the oil must stay in the ground? Hard to imagine.

And how much wasted money, wasted by both sides. What is the true cost in both money, lost opportunity, and loss of goodwill to our country? How many young ambitious Bahamians were unable to get BOB loans because of the failures of today's "leaders"?

I think the message for the average person is "you are on your own". Neither the private sector, nor our government has any answers. We're looking at a tough few years ahead. This can either sink us, or stimulate us to be creative and innovative.

Interesting how knowledgeable you are on BPC in The Bahamas, but have so little to say on the many other matters of importance in this country. Interesting indeed.

As I said, there has been a sea change of science in the last 10 years. The world needs to divest from fossil fuels. Those who are proposing the irresponsible drilling for oil, in light of the known dangers to our country are the real ones holding us back. People such as yourself.

Just as, this same Government of The Bahamas should have the wisdom to reevaluate the most recent science that says this is a bad, bad move. We should reconsider this idea of allowing drilling into our seabed for oil, in light of the emerging scientific facts. Would that be too much to ask from those who actually live here in The Bahamas?
International experts? Name them. Name all of them willing to sign on to a statement that says, "Despite the growing body of scientific evidence pointing to the use of fossil fuels as destroying our biosphere, we continue to advocate for the drilling of oil. And, we receive absolutely no monetary compensation for saying so"

Absolutely right!

Hey Mr. Potter.
It is within our rights as sovereign people to challenge our "sovereign" government as to what is in our best interest. You do believe in democracy, don't you? The facts have been available for many years, now with increasing certainty. Do you realize how many Bahamian lives have been lost in the last hundred years due to being caught out to sea not knowing a hurricane was coming? Now, we know with amazing accuracy where and when a storm will hit. Interesting that one would put their faith in the scientists who have developed these amazing models for predicting hurricanes, but when these same scientists say fossil fuels are contributing greatly to what many scientists are now calling Runaway Climate Change, we have a problem with that. Exxon has known for over 40 years that fossil fuels are contributing to climate change

Stop your anti-science agenda. We know your oil industry paid scientists are going to attempt to create confusion. That's what they, and you, are paid to do. Stop with the "waiting till the eleventh hour" nonsense. You can tell your child over and over not to run out into the street. While you hope they will know better, you still are going to run out to protect them when you see a truck coming, right? Well, that's where we are now. We can't effing believe that our scientific Prime Minister and our "enlightened" Parliament have allowed this ill-fated scam to continue on its course. Especially not with the stunning amount of scientific evidence piling up over these last few years that says in no uncertain terms that humanity must reduce and eliminate our use of fossil fuels. Sorry to spoil your money party, Mr. Potter, but give The Bahamas a break. You must know that The Bahamas will be one of the first countries inundated by sea level rise caused by Runaway Climate Change fueled by our use of fossil fuels. This is a fact.

Any money received by The Bahamas in exchange for drilling for oil would be blood money.
