You better pray and hope Cuba never fully opens up to the American public! The day that occurs, the numbers of Americans visiting the Bahamas will drop even further.
Yes, I agree it's not a perfect solution (as you describe in your post). There are definitely areas that need to be improved and/or changed in order for the elimination of using fossil fuels to be fully beneficial. So for example in your post, what if the factory that produces the electric vehicles was completely powered by solar panels (located on the roof of the massive car factory) instead of fossil fuels. In addition, what if the batteries that the electric vehicles use were renewable and never needed to be discarded? Would that make it more attractive in your opinion to switch from fossil fuels to something more renewable and less damaging to the environment?
Why charge the VAT on any food purchases? Food you purchase at the grocery store should be free from the VAT. Easy solution, makes sense, problem solved.
Who cares about these two kids and British royalty? Honestly, who really cares? And if you do care... why? The entire royal family is so irrelevant and bring literally no value whatsoever. It's all for show anyway.
Number one priority is the environment and compliance?!?!?!?!? That is a bold face LIE. As a publicly traded company, their number one priority is increasing their shareholder's value and increasing the stock price of the stock. All other priorities fall way, way down on the list after profits, revenue, and increasing the share price of the stock. Saying that the environment is priority number one is the farthest thing from the truth!!!!!!
@John... trust me dude... I'm 100% a man. I'm married to a female that is a very successful doctor. And I've got two teenage daughters too. And duh... of course a man can't get pregnant and carry a child. That difference was assumed (by most intelligent folks).
@Johh... taking the literal word and marriage advice from a book that was written 2,000 years ago is completely asinine. Not too mention... it was a book written entirely by MEN. 2,000 years ago women were treated no differently from the family dog. She was a piece of property to the man of the house. Please, I beg of you... open your mind and live in the present. It has been proven time after time, that women can do anything a man can do -- work in any industry, serve in the military, operate the Space Shuttle in space, be a leader of a country, excel at sports, start & own a successful business, etc, etc, etc. Women are 100% equal to men and men are 100% equal to women.
@Joeblow... your comment might be the most horrific and ignorant of the year!! Your lack of intelligence, rationale thought, & social awareness truly knows no bounds.
