85% by 2035? That’s only 11 years away. It will take at least that long for all the plans, committees, subcommittees, public consultation, more committees, reports etc to look into this and still nothing will have been achieved. Clearly the Minister has no clue how long it takes to build a network that could supply 85%. No wonder he is retiring.

typo: WHEN will Mr. Big, no Minister or environmentalist leader invest their own money to achieve the 85% goal? (trick question)

“This Bill will allow a … Government department, or statutory authority … to apply for a licence”

Oh, good grief. Now the PLP Government appears to want to get into the electricity generating business.

If the “Government’s commitment to reduce the use of fossil fuels by eighty-five percent [85%] in the production of electricity by 2035,” why is it that not one Minister has solar panels and an electric car? To reduce their carbon footprint, why do Ministers fly off the island for meetings when videoconferencing can achieve the same result? What is the carbon footprint of Mr. Big and all of the Ministers?

Does anyone have a clue what our utility rate will be for consumers and businesses to reach this lofty 85% goal? (sarcasm) Why will Mr. Big, no Minister or environmentalist leader invest their own money to achieve the 85% goal? (trick question)
