Without the U.S., Canadian and European tourist coming to these Bahamas shores, how will we be able to pay for those things. Don't bite the hands that feed you. We have more to loose than they do. just saying

We in the Bahamas need to convert to a cheaper form of fuel in addition to upgrading our power generating capacity.

Conversion to cheaper LNG is the way to go. It is already being done in other parts of the Caribbean. Yes oil prices has gone down but it will not remain low.

I have never heard of any pop or soul artist being a headliner for a carnival anywhere in the world. Whose brilliant idea was this?

That dump is full of methane gas. Until that dump site place a system to remove the methane gas there will always be fires at that site. As someone has mentioned already, the fire was never out, it probably was still active under the ground.

What the prime is not saying, is that although he may not agree with VAT. It is probably a stipulation that was place on the country by the IMF in order to pay down the huge debt that this country is sinking under.

Don't understand your question of why in the world would they pick a natural gas concept other than being part of the U.S. Isn't natural gas as stated in this article much more cheaper than what we are currently using to generate power. I know that the U.S. now has an abundance of natural gas but so does Trinidad and Tobago. Yes natural gas is not a renewable energy but it's lots more cleaner to burn that what we are using currently. Additionally what are some of the natural resources that you speak about that we can use to combat the ever rising cost of electricity in this country. Are you thinking about wind mills and solar power. Both are good but it would only take one hurricane to end such a huge investment which will be needed to supply our ever high demand for more electric power.

Well I guess Vitol would fit right in here in the Bahamas. If that is the case of what you are saying about Vitol why haven't they been hall into court by all of these difference country that you have mentioned that they have fraud. All I know is that this electric thing is out of control and something needs to be done very soon or else this situation will surely cripple our economy.

Well this change will be for the positive to do the conversion to natural gas since it is in abundance and much cheaper that oil that we currently use to generate electricity. I found about the conversion from a friend of mine from the Virgin Islands because they are experiencing the same high energy cost like we are experiencing. Their company has partnered with this company name Vitol Virgin islands Inc. to supply the natural gas. According to him Vitol is a global energy company.

This transformation is already happening in other parts of the Caribbean. Check out the U.S. Virgin Islands public utility company, Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority aka wapa and you will see that they have started the process of installing natural gas conversion for their power plant. I do hope that BEC takes this suggestion serious.
