All the experts on providing more power generation and more power generation and more power generation seems NOT familiar with the lower levels of society way below them and destitute proverty levels rising not using electricity.

Some 4,000 plus homes have electricity cut off. As each home expenses have now increased more homes likely to be get cut off. Huge amounts of butane airsol can containers are being sold in mon an pop stores for now high usage of camping gas stoves eliminatinb electric stoves. Big wig experts dont realize that driving through unban city every afternoon all the wood smoke fire is people cooking. The longer food lines and soup kitchens use propane gas lessen electricity cost.
Many who still has electricity has cut back to get discount and with the govt push to get homes using SOLAR will lessen use of electricity and feed back electricity into grid for compemnsation. All devices appliances in more and more efficient.. Fewer homes constructed, next decades water level risen affecting areas affecting electricity...., businesses getting efficiencies, cutting back, ....

Totally new airport needed outside Freeport to have length of runway. Cannot just put a dam elevated around perimeter will be judt like having elevated bridge with surrounding area flooded unable access.
This having Bahamians, residents, businesses and lifeblood of tourists visiting needs critical new airpprt by govt spearheading immediate action of this sovereign nation. Freeport and Grand Bahama must not be held hostage and every Bahamian citizen on other islands and others must have access to Grand Bahama unimpeded by private and foreogn party. Natural Security and uses of airport must not be impeded by others in this sovereign nation of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

These legislators must be foreign legislators to be totally in stratosphere to not know the commonest behaviour of jay walking plenty Bahamians just turn and walk cross the road as they want tolally expecting their bungie bumper to save them.
Sometime driver luckily have chance to stop of have enough distance to slow down an see them willfully intentionally deliberately fully walk snail pace to cross the road to show off to others they tough, stare your car and you down suk teet and glare.
Been behind heavy trucks slamming on brakes to slow down and stop when person decide to dont look and just cross road. These days jay walkers with headphones or occupied with phones are new ddangers to drivers.

Legislators soon forget commonestest behaviour is Bahamians just crossing the road as they want an wanting their boongie bumper to save them and there must be laws to also save them from themselves.

Stealing, fraud, corruption been going on since King Hatchet was a hammer. Trailers with stolen cars, trailer with chicken, juice declared as sports drink, Auditor Bastian Road Traffic and other areas, BoB no forensic audited list goes on and on...and no balances.
No FOIA, campaign finance reform, any Ombudsman and many lawyers will cite conflict going up agaonst Govt. and after victim defrauded has none to pay anyhow. And Mr. Laroda on the parliamentarians financial audits always say his agenty is still trying to do the job going on years.
System has been going on for decades alternating last 25 years and every 5 years past one party gets the token victory as the present party gets ruled out.

Seems just more sayings an common words like shingles, hand go hand come, gettin juiced, greased, all fer we, it is what it is, is who ya know, and more......

The amounts to be borrowed seems not good to be just rewarding law breakers of illegal construction and operations of illegal shanty towns in cleanups etc.

It is one thing to have money surpluses to aid and abet illegalities and its another thing to stick it to the majority of the citizens of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas to borrow money to do this.
