He said it simply ensures a “courtesy” call will be placed to warn persons that their power is at risk of being disconnected.

Really?

Everyone could receive this "courtesy" today very easily with automated texting technology. Why can't I get a text (automatically by the computer system) letting me know I am at risk of being disconnected and giving me like 5 or 7 days to pay? Or do I need to pay my $400 and run for MP in order to get this? Oh, I guess I need to win too. Sorry.

There is no solution because the cost of power is simply too high. Successive governments have failed to make that guy (you know the Facebook guy who has the answers to how to have cheap electricity) become Minister of Energy.

Until GW is made Minister of Energy - all of these articles are just a waste of time. Basically, shut up and pay ya high bill or ya light ga turn off. Otherwise do a march on Bay St. and demand his appointment.

Women should not be allowed to enter the PMH delivery ward unless they can show a bank letter where they have $20,000 in a fixed deposit account. Can't afford to have children? Don't have them. I can't afford to buy a Rolles Royce? Do I have one? No I do not.

You ought to be careful mentioning oil monopolies. You notice I never do. Everyone knows about that - there is just not the will of the people to do anything about it - that's why the politicians don't because they know the people will not back them up. High power bills are a hidden form of taxation. With duty averaging 25%, VAT at 10%, and NIB at 10%, and fuel for vehicles and BPL "fuel surcharge" at 30% - a $100 paycheck translates into a USA equivalent of $25. That is why everything "seems" so expensive. Things are not actually expensive - you just pay more taxes on them than is generally realized.
You may doubt my calculations above - but ask yourself this. Is someone who makes $300 a week able to save even $5 out of that $25 mentioned above? $300 would yield three times $5 = $15. How many people who make $300 a week do you know who are actually saving $15 a week in their bank/numbers account?

Pass by ANY Chinese store in Nassau and you will see loads of Bahamians lined up spending money in there. Giving their money to the Chinese to send out of the country. Bahamians don't want money. How that place on Carmichael get so big? Bahamians are basically selling their children's future in order to save $20 a week on food costs.

Once again, the man with the solutions to provide lower cost electricity (several solutions) - Graham Weatherford - has been kicked to the curb and forgotten.

Let the high price of electricity continue, seems to be the order of the day.

Will the Govt put him in charge of Energy? Of course they won't. We can talk about it again in 4 1/2 years, next election.

Good points guys. I guess the day we Graham Weatherford as Min of Energy then we will know things are getting better.

Well muddo. U mean tings ga get betta for real? Dis a new guvmint eh?

Sheeprunner....the answer is transparency. New Govt? No FOI Act actually in place yet? Of course not. No finance info online? Of course not. News people giving info being hauled...of course yes.

RECO is 100% correct...except i would add one caveat and that is not to sell land to Communist China. By the way when did Communist China's name get shortened to "China" ?
