And there you will run into your first challenge: Finding enough Bahamians with the moral fortitude to stand on principal. Find enough Bahamians not compromised by the system be it Political party or Civil service graft and connection. Finding enough people with the will to abandon their daily grind to survive to turn to the common good, usually at great personal expense and personal suffering. Find enough intelligent people that can agree what needs to be done. Find any of the above that can get it done and push for the long haul. My challenge to any reader. BTW, I have tried, paid a heavy price, and continue to try daily. So no armchair Quarter backing here.
Ha, but where will the other 4 end up? No mention of where they will be sent. One to remain in reserve in Nassau, so watch for where the last 4 end up. Why doesn't one of the last 4 end up as a reserve? Read between the lines WIlliam424. As much is said by what is not said as in what is.
"Fair Energy Share"? What the hell is my power bill? Gratuity? There are so many bad premises in this "consultation" Document it aught to be called an Insultation Document. URCA is not designed to prop up an aged Flawed and inefficient Monolithic Power block at the expense of the General Public. Someone is feeding this moron with bad Physics, philosophy and basic contract law. If everyone must bear their "fair share" then why don't people who consume no power not get a bill anyway? The more switches and more transformers argument is garbage. Avoidance Cost? What the hell is that? People with power cut off have avoided cost. YOu gonna bill them for avoiding? Perhaps if Solar is allowed on a self service level BEC BPL will no longer be responsible for providing power across the Islands at any damn cost. Have no fear, your document will be shredded line by line in short order. You cannot force me to sell anything I produce from limes to Power, to the Government in its entirety, and force me to buy it back and grossly inflated prices. Seriously, I smell an injunction coming on.
KPT took the high ground. Well done. He has been open and receptive to private sector suggestions made for high level directives to work and function at ground level. Well Done. He has schlepped Cases of water and relief supplies. Well done. Where are the PLP? Where is the opposition? In absentia save a mouthpiece armchair quarterbacking? Sit down son. Learn something about staring in the face of adversity, and overcoming.
Minis may make a simple statement about some incentive or concession or exigency, but by the time it hits the street is is nothing but red tape and bureaucracy with no incentive left. High time he talk with people who have learned from Francis, Jean Wilma Matthew and now Dorian, as opposed to appointing people who cannot remember what lunch was yesterday. The red tape is creeping in faster than it can be cut, just like the Mold growing everywhere.
Any truth to the info that NEMA hurricane relief Generators destined for Abaco and G.B. are being turned into bec/bpl Nassau power cut relief Generators for NEMA friends and family? Where there's smoke there is usually fire....... Just asking. Apparently it is no secret. Trucks delivering them too.
