Interesting that he is pushing Solar/Alt energy, but for power company only.
The Barbados Govt had a policy in place that was very fair, a few cents split on buy/sell price.
Utility and private sector have great implementation there.
However our GBPA as regulator, or government for that matter still have no policy.
Pathetic as always.
URCA is useless, or too busy playing with phone/internet providers.

But they've been guaranteed a minimum 10% profit in their agreement with the GBPA.
That they have to stick it to the public is not their worry.
The issue is with the Port Authority who probably profits themselves from that arrangement.
The Silence from the Port is deafening, on Dorian reconstruction, Covid, economy, GBPC,
Maybe they left?

Sounds like a forensic audit should be had.
Doubt the public will ever get it though.
Meanwhile what about the Dome homes?
How many? Occupied?
Need a Police presence in Abaco, are the Dome homes not good enough for them?
In other countries post disaster Tents are used, they don't wait for apartment complexes.
Perfect example, Samaritans Purse: Lived and worked in the tents.

Dr Bethel is a very quiet and unassuming person, as genuine as they come.
One of our greatest failings in Bahamian society and politics,
shooting the messenger. When the world settles on a proven treatment, we can throw rocks.
I'd prefer a proven treatment over waiting for a vaccine that may never come.

District Constables. The System provides for them, and specifically for this type situation.
But they don't want to deputize Responsible citizens. They don't even understand their own structure or resources at hand.
Imagine if the responsible citizens in charge of their own security send 40-50 perps on the mail boat to be charged in Nassau.
Seems the police cannot Control Crime, so they'll settle for Controlling the Honest citizen.
except Curfews and lockdowns are even beyond police control apparently.

Ungrateful, always some special pathway to get more, get special treatment, cheat the system.
Chile, I don't stand in line. Same with the DRA system for Home reconstruction.
Same with Prior Hurricanes, 5kw generators donated/given away being sold from households for $200 with 5 on hand. Same with Plywood/Shingles etc.
Couple that with Government administrations promising free stuff in every regard from healthcare to a new roof and windows, and now food.
Can't wait for the next Election cycle, what is left to give away/Promise?
Free Cars?
I fee for the Elderly, Special needs family members, abandoned and discarded by their own in what must be a disproportionately high ratio and at the best of times.
Prosecute the cheats. Show them the consequences of their actions.
That would be a new and unheard of approach.
Start at the top though. More Bang for the buck.

Obviously this "program" is in trouble and unfortunately, so are the vendors who agreed to supply the Public with needed materials, most of whom themselves experienced hurricane related Damage and flooding.

Stop quoting Pledge numbers. While impressive, you don't have it in hand.
What you have (or had) is $10,36400.
What has probably happened is front end spending in 20 directions with no tracking or budgeting.

Just did a covid antibody test this morning. Looked like a pregnancy test, a finger prick,
results in 10 min. $40.
So they should have a place in the big picture.
Yes, Covid can kill, seriously debilitate, complications,
Yes our healthcare system is woefully i'll equipped,
But Government has done more Damage than covid.
Economically, mental health wise, constant Jerrymandering with the minutiae of rules stipulations and retractions.

And will the Pastors wear masks as they scream at the top of their lungs?
The Choir also?
Or will they spew spittle far and wide as usual?
Minnis caves in for the wrong reasons, and pushes Ludicrous rule stipulations.
Only 200 cases/day you'll be lucky.
All for the $$.
