using modern technology there are very minimal risks for one single drill. Lets not forget that any potential drill will be the 9th or 10th drilled offshore in the last century - all the others had no impact.
I would be in favour of a drill for the huge economic upsides that are possible.

" The fortunes of The Bahamas are right in front of us. The sun, sea, sand, tourists, Clean clear water, healthy air to breathe and clean water to drink ".
Our country is drowning in debt and the economy is in tatters - tourism is simply not enough to sustain current spending levels.
A single drill for oil last 2 months and is will not harm the environment. There may not be oil there!! ... that's why we need to find it.

The Bahamas needs to drill one well to confirm if the vast amounts of oil are actually in place - all the work done to date is encouraging and would transform the country on a successful drill.

Hopefully BPC will be drilling with a major oil company next year. The budget was dire, I dont see any of the doom mongers above coming up with any other ideas to kick start the economy. There is little risk here, no more than currently exists with tankers passing through the waters every day loaded with oil.

After many years of BPC trying to secure funding it sounds like they are finally close which is great news for the Bahamas.
The jobs and billions in oil revenue will be most welcome!

When oil is found in Bahamas it will solve a lot of this countries problems. Look at the oil country of Norway - the kindest, least corrupt country on earth. Oil can improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable. If the people firmly support good government, responsible management, oil is a blessing no doubt. Why do these rich lifestyle activists want to stop the Bahamas people's big opportunity?

We want the jobs and revenue. My resume is ready to hand into BPC when they get ready to drill.

I wonder why they get married so quickly given that the divorce rate is so high. In any event I hope they've both learned the tricky art of cohabitation and compromise and this will be a loving lasting marriage for them. Dont have any kids before three years!!! Freeze eggs if necessary.

Norman - Take a read of the budget and smell the coffee yourself... you need to get in the modern world.
Drilling for oil (closer to Cuba than these shores) is smart when it will earn the Bahamas potentially billions in revenue.
