The poor suffer most from lockdowns. Fair enough. You know what would make them suffer even more? Suffocating to death in an overcrowded hospital among strangers, no friends or family allowed.
Not so. Shell (Bahamas) is supplied with fuel by FOCOL, chaired by Frankie 'the Snake' Wilson. The PLP financier. This power plant gives them the ability to continue to make hundreds of millions of dollars supplying us with dirty fuel for the next 40 years, strangling any move to renewables. This is a PLP deal through and through - lord knows how Minnis dem got swung into signing it.
The Royalties are 12.5 - 25% of their profit over and above projections, which they get to make up themselves. So basically, in practice, we are unlikely to get much.
Billions? What billions? Lol. We only get something if they outperform the own profit projections, which the can set as high as they want so as to avoid having to pay us. "So sorry, missed those projections again. We did make a billion, but because our projection was one billion and ONE dollars, all that profit is for us, none for you. Please buddy. Take that somewhere else. This ain't Africa.
