A local attorney is arguing a completely “green” Bahamas that could bring billions of dollars of revenue to the economy could be threatened by present moves to grant oil exploration licenses and subsequent drilling for that black gold.
As Paul Moss sees it, a national move in the environmentally-friendly direction could lead to benefits that could in turn lead to real sustainability in tourism; however, he noted that moves to allow oil exploration licenses may work contrary to that goal.
He paints a picture of companies relocating their businesses to the country because of a 100 percent commitment to green living. It’s the kind of land, he said, many Bahamians would be proud to leave for their children and grandchildren.
