‘GREENER BAHAMAS FROM OIL REVENUE’
I think wakeup is a shareholder wanting dollars. The Bahamas is one of the most beautiful sets of island in the world and I will do everything I can to protect it. I regularly speak with Bahamian oil ministers and environmental agencies on this issue because I run a small environmental fund and also work in the Bahamas National Trust, Nassau.
God gave us beauty. We must not ruin it. We would rather buy oil from elsewhere then drill ourselves and risk tourism loss.

‘GREENER BAHAMAS FROM OIL REVENUE’
Take it from me.Tourists ain't keen for swimming in oily waters or tanning on nasty oil sludge covered beaches. I always get a chuckle reading about Bahamas Petroleum Company. Comrades remember it really wasn't that long ago we were dependent upon Kerosene oil for we Three Burner Table Top Stoves and Fridges, which I'm pretty damn sure Comrade Simeon wouldn't recognize a stove's wick if one was steering him in he face. It's important we remember Kerosene was the first major product of the oil industry. If this oil bounty turns out being no more than a dud and not the promised wealth boom for Bahamaland, as is being promoted, when the oil sludge drillers move on to their next nation's venture, leaving behind destruction to our marine life, waters and beaches, we might all wish if only we, our parents or grandparents had hung onto Three Burner Kerosene Stoves and Wicks. Where will the Billions of dollars come from to clean up what is ruined while drilling to find out it \wasn't anything more than an oil stock markets pipe dream?
