THE DOMINICA GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED ENCOURAGES YOUR PARTICIPATION.
How many public consultations are you planning to have and for how long? The first one of this public consultations must have been at least 20 years back. You know what, why don’t all you man up for once and tell us that the project is going to be scrapped, due to all you being incompetent. While you are at it, do tell the public how much money has been wasted so far on this project. My educated guess, the best part of US$50 million and counting. There is nothing wrong with the project as such, but the people handling it are totally out of their depth. I’m talking about Skerrit, Henderson, Austrie (prev. Minister for Energy) and all the other DLP ministers that have been paid ‘expenses’ so far for talking talking propaganda.
These public engagements are intended for the media to overwhelm the public with news about the ghost airport and now the fictitious geothermal energy.
It would be an excellent thing for the country if these two projects come to fruition. But, with Roosevelt at the helm of government, the possibility of this happening is slim to zero. In fact, these two projects have a 0.0000001% chance of happening. These two plans under the present chronic diseased LIAR are just air castles.
