This country is at least 10 years behind and with a GDP of this magnitude, one might ask the question where did the previous governments spend the money. If we keep this up The Bahamas will b bankrupt soon. Our dollar is about to drop and there goes our country. This reckless spending has to stop otherwise we will have a serious situation on our hands.
My suggestion to fix the issues with BPL is as follows, what needs to happen is the Governent needs to make some sort of deal or sign a contract with FPL (Florida Power & Light) Company. . Once a deal is made and successful the Present Government can then have them run a submarine cable from Fort Lauderdale to Freeport as this is much closer in proximity to Florida. A submarine cable can then be ran into Nassau the capital and then cables can be ran to the various Family Islands. FPL can then build a building in New Providence and Freeport to manage the companies business. The electricity hardly ever goes out year in year out in Florida, reason mainly being that the company has enough electricity to power the cities on the grid and adding The Bahamas to this grid adds hardly any additional load. FPL generates 25 gigawatts of energy with a diverse mix of fuels. FPL obtains most of its electricity from natural gas, followed by Nuclear power, this is enough to power a city the size of New Providence x50.
