Yes the party is white and it’s also true they place black candidates at the front with the hope of appearing diverse to the voters. Everyone in Bermuda knows this but the OBA aka UBP continue to use this tactic.

At least they’re diverse….and not the racist, homophobic, xenophobic boiz club of the plp. LOL, your ignorance is thick this morning. Your hypocrisy is putrid.

The diversity in the OBA aka UBP is the candidates the rest of the party is white. So yes it’s a TRICK. Stop playing the voters for fools we all get tired of the surrogate of musical chairs. Why do you think it’s 30-6!!!! It’s not going to go well until someone forms a 3rd party with whites and black voters working equally.

With the cost of timers that isn’t going to ever happen but people should know that the savings accrued by running your water heater on demand way , way surpass the meager savings these light bulbs will provide.
If every house in Bermuda had timers on the heaters BELCO would be squealing.

You have the nerve to say the OBA has to trick people into believing people that they are diverse? Have you looked at the PLP elected , the PLP leaders , the PLP delegates etc…. Ain’t nothing there that has EVER resembled diversification. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Please look up the definition of diverse before you comment. People are way to wise and know the PLPs tactics of divide an conquer. Sadly, while this has worked for the party and a few family and friends benefit, the truth as we see it is that it has cost this country dearly. Wake up .

I did not suggest that the LEDs are free. I referred only to “free publicity”.

erm, they are not free, someone had to pay for them and that would be using taxpayers money, so all working Bermudians paid for this. The Green Machine did not dip into their own pockets for this at all, they dipped into your pockets to pay for it.

“the Department of Energy promoted a similar initiative in 2018 to mid-2019″

Can anyone guess where the DOE got that idea from?
Thank you, thank you very much!

Now, how about implementing the timers on hot water heaters program? HUGE money saver for consumers.

$37 saving a year if you leave your lights on all night perhaps.

What did it cost you to get these lightbulbs $15 million / 60,000 (approximate whole population including babies) = $ 250 per individual for $37 per year = 7 years before you breakeven.

BUT WAIT, babies and people not working can’t pay for these… so use the working population number of 35,438 ($15M / 35,438 = $423 per worker) = 11 years before you start to see any benefit.

Each worker just paid $423 to get a benefit of $37 that they won’t start to see the upside of until 11 years in the future. This assumes the lightbulb doesn’t die.

What you have infact paid for is a propaganda photo op for the PLP, because you realistically aren’t going to see any benefit from. remember your tax dollars paid to the govt paid for this.

The truth is that the UBP changed its name from a government that did wonders for a certain segment of Bermuda to the pathetic OBA to run away from its racist past mistakes. Since we all know black voters stop voting for the party.

You don’t have to spend money. The PLP Government will be giving away packages of LED light bulbs. One package per household.

Giving away merchandise is always worth free publicity.

How clueless is this minister???
Why the hell would I spend money on expensive LED bulbs for my home just to be on a few hours a day?? This only saves belco energy but the minimal savings on my bill will never add up to the expense of LEDs. This initiative only works for big businesses like grocery stores, Street lights and office space etc. Not for house holds

Look Mate, we are in waaaay more trouble than a few lightbulbs will fix.

You are bailing out the Titanic with a shot glass.
