It is absolutely insane that in this day in age with the abundance of sunshine in the Bahamas, the country would still be importing oil to power its electricity needs. Canada and Germany both countries with much less sunshine implemented feed-in-tariff programs which brought substantial investment into solar and other renewable energy plants. With the recent reduction in solar costs the government/BEC could purchase electricity at prices far less than the current cost of purchasing power through fossil fuels.
