We as humans are inherently good natured although some of us fall away from that natural human aspect from time to time. This is what brings me to the title of this little opinion piece I decided to submit to DNO.<\/p>\n<p>As many of you know, we in Dominica have an abundance of Geo-Thermal activity. We see hot spots all over the island. The question some of you may ask is \u201cwhat is Geothermal Energy\u201d? The term geothermal comes from the Greek word geo, which means earth, and therine, which means heat. Geothermal energy is energy derived from the natural heat of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>In Dominica there have been many who have investigated the ability to effectively use this energy source to turn it into electricity and possibly market energy locally and to neighboring islands. The Government (Labour Party Government), I am sure have entertained many men who have brought out their proposals and designs for capitalizing on this resource on the island.<\/p>\n<p>There have been many advances in producing electricity from this energy source and one thing we must remember is that it is a renewable resource. The Government of Dominica has a vested interest in ensuring that this energy source is used effectively to the benefit of the people and country. If this energy can be harnessed and turned into electricity efficiently and at a relatively low cost, it would go a long way towards lowering the cost of electricity across Dominica.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands now, our electricity costs are too high and that prevents businesses from expanding and puts unnecessary financial pressure on the ordinary man or woman. Today we all use electricity in our lives in one way or another. Many companies complain about the cost of doing business in Dominica and one of their primary complaints is the high cost of utilities with specific mention of electricity. To be competitive in this global age, we need a reliable source of electricity with little or no interruptions. We also need to generate this electricity at lower costs than what we are able to produce it today.<\/p>\n<p>This brings me to my main point\u2026 I have seen and heard a few Dominicans based in the USA attacking the Government of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit from various angles. What I tried to examine is their motives for doing this and what it is they hope to gain from the exercise. These men were not part of the UWP administration, nor were they known party supporters. We all know that the Government owns the land around some of the areas ideal for geothermal development and the Government by extension is the people. This potential energy source should be harnessed for the benefit of all Dominicans. If Mr. Skerrit and his administration were to be careless and allow anyone to get licenses for geo-thermal exploration and electricity generation, this could cause irreparable harm to Dominica much like the sale of Domlec did a few years back.<\/p>\n<p>A group which included Mr. Gabriel Christian, Mr. Thompson Fountaine, and Washwoa Douglas among others approached the Government of Mr. Skerrit to obtain such a license for Geo-Thermal Electricity Generation. These men did not have the necessary financial backing for undertaking such a venture, nor did they have any experience or expertise in the field. Although they did claim to have some knowhow, the money to effectively construct and harness electricity from the ground was nowhere to be seen. What these men wanted to do was obtain the license and not harness electricity or construct any power plants or conversion plants. They expected to get this license from the Government simply because they were Dominican Citizens.<\/p>\n<p>What they intended to do with these licenses was to sell them to the highest bidder on the international market. If these men had succeeded in their endeavor, they would have been holding the golden card, a card they would have been able to profit from on the \u2018heads\u2019 of Dominicans while doing no heavy lifting. The Government and people of Dominica would not have seen a penny, not one red cent. As a Dominican, I expect all governments to act in the best interest of the people and country and that is exactly what Mr. Skerrit and his administration did by denying these men the opportunity to profit by their deception and greed.<\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Skerrit said no to these self-serving ex-pats, he was essentially creating enemies who are now hell bent on trying to discredit him and his government. What these men do not understand is that the Prime Minister and his Government have a lot of information in the proposals made by various persons including these men. Mr. Skerrit if he chooses to, can obliterate the many agents of greed and destruction seeking to discredit the Government by exposing the real nature of their discontent for all Dominicans to see. The Prime Minister chooses instead to speak out with actions and infrastructure projects, instead of hearsay and politicking.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to write this after gathering some facts on my own. I support this Government and someone has to speak up for truth in Dominica. The many pronouncements made by these men ring hollow with the Dominican populace, and it does so for one simple reason: People see tangible development and infrastructure. A few years ago we underwent austerity measures in Dominica. It was hard and tough, but necessary. We are doing better today because we swallowed this bitter pill. The same will be said in 5-10 years when we have realized the completion of these infrastructure projects going on around the island. Our people will be able to move about easier. People, goods, and services will no longer be confined to certain areas of the island. There will also be improved safety when driving for locals and visitors, while cutting down on fuel costs and travel time.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of Dominicans living abroad love their country and supports it in one way or another. They only want what\u2019s best for Dominica irrespective of who does it. The only thing that the above mentioned guys have in common with the UWP and its supporters, is their hatred for the Skerrit Administration and the shared goal of exacting revenge on a man who told them NO while putting his country first. These men claim to be interested in Dominica, but they live in foreign countries and have no interest in moving back to the Dominica. Country first is not part of their modus operandi and it never will be. Their only interest is reaping whatever they can however they can, with no care for the country or people. If these men who have joined forces with the United Workers Party are ever allowed to have some access to our natural resources, God help us all.<\/p>\n<p>Given the facts, as I understand them, I consider Mr. Christian the consummate opportunist and Mr. Fountain a lost son of the soil. I will reserve judgment on Mr. Douglas as he is a small player in this endeavor. Neither of these gentlemen are willing to put Dominica\u2019s interest first they are simply motivated by greed and are angry at the Prime Minister for standing up for the Dominican people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>August Christopher<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From time to time we all rise to the occasion, whether it is selfless or self serving.
