How Can We Drill For Oil?

Oct.5, 2020 – Khrisna Russell, The Tribune

BAHAMAS National Trust is against Bahamas Petroleum Company’s proposed exploratory oil drilling before year’s end, insisting yesterday that several factors present serious concerns.

Chief among BNT’s concerns is this nation’s vulnerability to climate change.

In a press statement yesterday, BNT said in 2020 The Bahamas should not be allowing the exploitation of fossil fuels within the county, adding that economic gains would be short-term and help shorten the life span of these islands.
