Since we have committed to building new LNG plants which burn natural gas which will have decades of useful life to them once built what is the point asking for action? Its possibility has already been foreclosed.

Perhaps one day someone can explain to me why we didn't "lock in" to a solar future when it was perfectly realistic to have done so.

Why is the obvious solution of not making climate change worse by building LNG import facilities and instead going straight to solar power not mentioned?

You can not "out run" climate change by buying insurance as the warming will just keep getting stronger.

Why does the Central Bank live in an imaginary world where money and economics are somehow seperated from the need to preserve a stable climate and environment to begin with? This just can't work out with more savings/insurance etc. The storms would only grow bigger with time.

Granted past chances to fix this have all been squandered. The question remains tho, as the sun will rise tomorrow, what should be done?

What *should* he do then? As in, what is your solution?

If sole government owning of BEC was the solution it would have been solved long ago.

The government has no money and enough fiscal acts to juggle it does not need any more.

BEC must be privatized so it can go on providing service. All other options have been tried and failed.

BPL should be privatized immediately, it should have happened a long time ago.

If this isn't done the public ownership burden will eventually threaten the ability for the utility to even buy fuel.

Given it might take a few months to even close a private sale best we get cracking here, does no one any good to have the nation without power, all the roads/options to another outcome with BPL remaining more or less in its current ownership structure are just over. Why does no one get this? No one is going to buy these bonds, and no one is going to pay their bills with the expectation that no Bahamian government is every truely going to say "bills paid in full or lights out".

Won't this all just continue to go on for another 20 years even if you do meet all their demands?

If you meet an endless list of demands then it can be said you actually run your own affairs?

At what point will all of these organizations be told if they have issues to take it to the UN and our government does need work under nor meet under duress with any outside organization particularly those who are outside of the wider UN process?

They are not as tourism dependant as we are. We should let in Americans who contribute to our economy via hotel or private home rental stays.

Take away their permits/ban them, its as simple as that, the power to do it rests with out democracy.

So for almost no spend on island per person we are to take back the cruise ship industry and deluge the Bahamas with Corona again and again?

Would make sense to me to just let in high end tourists who will spend lots on hotel stays and meals and then the risk reward benefit is justified.

Or if people feel their lockdown sacrifices to reduce Corona spread should be tossed aside just so someone could (maybe) spend $20 on a cheap t-shirt and a few bucks on port tax I am just clearly living in a different universe here.

I think the government must finally confront the relative value of the cruise "industry" vs hotel stays (what we need) in light of Corona making the former honestly a pretty horrible bet in my view.
