It'd be interesting to know what actually turns the generator, be it a slow-speed Sulzer Diesel, straight jet turbine, or co-generation jet & steam turbine. My guess would be Sulzer Diesel, but who can say with certainty without more information?

Thank you for your kind words. Walked thru the Atlantis aquarium ten years ago but have yet to stay or dine there.
But in all the years my family and I have visited Nassau, sometimes a couple times yearly, sometimes every year or two, we're always warmly welcomed. We make a point of visiting with the young couple who operate the news kiosk on Bay Street at Rawson Square. They're always friendly and hospitable.
Ms. Gloria at the Perfume Shop always recognizes us even if it's been a couple years, year in year out. Every shop or business on the island, we're greeted courtesouly in friendly manner and after one visit, people remember you.
The American press, based in New York, is a jaded lot. They're big on travel to Europe where it's cold generally and expensive, and not much else. Why? Plenty reasons, none worth examining.
Frankly, the Bahamas are nearby, friendly, and magnificent in their beauty. Our Bahamian friends greet us year in, year out. Don't know if that happens in other countries, but it does make the Bahamas a beautiful place to visit.
Once you understand that this review came from the American liberal media, you see the reason for the less than gushing review. The American media is based in mid-town Manhattan. It doesn't see very far beyond mid-town Manhattan, which it considers to be the center of the universe. When the American leftist media does see beyond its narrow-minded confines, it sees only Europe and Hollywood, which it believes to be the sole centers of civilization in addition to mid-town Manhattan.
The American media has for years aggressively promoted travel to Europe, Europe, Europe to the exclusion of all other destinations, except for Hollywood, where its philosophical cousins reside and work.
Turn on any American travel show, it's all about Europe, the crepes, the busses, the trains, the fun you can have sipping lattes in the village square.
Europe, however, is also old, cold, dank, expensive, and resentful of the free, non-socialist world. When Europeans travel, they more often than not visit the Bahamas and the southern states of America, for obvious reasons: it's warm, welcoming, and friendlier than northern regions.
Simply put: the old American media dislikes it when people travel to places other than Manhattan, Hollywood, or Europe. The liberal media particularly dislikes it when people take cruise ships to the Bahamas, because the media's primary goal is this: To keep you watching its dull, mentally-corrosive TV shows. If you're aboard a ship, you're likely not watching TV. If you're enjoying the beautiful Bahamas, you're more likely to be out in the sun, swimming, diving, shopping, enjoying the beaches rather than sitting strapped to a sofa, drooling in front of the TV.
It's that simple. When you travel to beautiful places, the media loses your attention, which is a very good thing for you, for the jealous old leftist media, a continuing source of resentment, of which it has many.
The American media is in the process of destroying itself. Let's leave them to it.
The Bahamas are a joy to visit.

Nothing new. For decades, various US counter-narc agencies have flown aircraft thru Bahamian skies to combat drug trafficking. Unarmed drones are simply an addition to the aerial fleet, but it is easy to see how they might unsettle those who profit by selling death to their customers.
Why object to that which acts for the good?

For decades the Bahamas Handbook has described procedures by which one may apply to carry a firearm.
In the United States, more than thirty years of dilligent research combined with concealed carry gun laws brought crime to an historic lows.
Three decades ago Stanford University Professor of Law Don Kates' book, 'Restricting Handguns'. Professor Kates broke ranks with the liberal myths. Dr. Kates stated that guns in the hands of citizens do not cause crime, they decrease it. Further research by criminologists Drs. David Kopel and Gary Kleck, and Dr. John Lott, professor of economics at Columbia University, have provedn Dr. Kates' research true.
Guns in the hands of citizens reduce crime by putting criminals on notice that citizens can defend themselves.
The above contemporary researchers' findings validate those of the founders of criminology. During the mid eighteenth century, Cesare Becaria concluded that nations which permit citizens to carry arms enjoy low rates of crime, while those who do not are plagued with it. During the late nineteenth century, Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso reached the same conclusion:
If you want to decrease crime, allow citizens to carry firearms. If you want more crime, don't.
Florida twenty five years ago passed its Concealed Carry Law. The press and liberal politicians howled that this would cause a bloodbath in which minor disputes quickly became multiple homicides.
To the media and politicans' great chagrin, the opposite occurred - crime dropped. Criminals quickly realized citizens were no longer defenseless and crime has now reached forty five year lows in America. More than thirty states passed laws similar to Florida's concealed carry law, with good results.
Those few states which have harsh firearms laws, such as Illinois, have very high rates of violent crime, because criminals know that citizens are defenseless.

Does combustion turbine in the article mean a jet engine fueld by Number 6 oil or natural gas which is used to spin a generator?
Will the combustion turbine be a combined-cycle installation, in which the combustion turbine spins a first generator and the turbine's hot exhaust heats water to steam to spin a second dynamo?
Does BEC presently have any steam turbines? If not, did it at one time? Many stateside oil-fired steam turbines in America have been converted to jet-powered combined cycle facilities. This often more than triples power output while reducing emissions by something like eighty-percent. Interesting, encouraging development, isn't it?
Combustion turbines or 'jets' can start quickly and hit full power almost instantly. This makes them ideal for peaking output when electrical demand is high.
Great news.

What can one say, dear Bahamian friends and readers? This girl's false, slanted tales is one of many examples as to why the American mainstream media is going out of business.
Americans long been fed up with one-sided reporting have turned off TV news and quit reading papers in favor of The Net and Talk Radio.
This gal's article is typical. It's obvious she never visited the Bahamas and knows nothing of their beauty and Bahamian citizens.
Look, here's the juice:
Most American mainstream journalists don't leave their mid-town Manhattan office cubicles. Their so-called research consists of asking their office mates, all of whom are as pig-ignorant and small minded as are they, for their equally biased, fanciful opinions.
Most so-called journalism today is written by people who've never left Manhattan.
Most of us here don't know anyone who wastes time watching TV news or reading lamestream media papers. Most people favor The Net and Talk Radio. Many of us do read newspapers online but with this difference, we usually skip the article and instead read the blog comments. Why? Because bloggers tell the truth.
