THE PLAN TO REVOLUTIONIZE ENERGY

Picture

OUR MANGOVES ARE WORTH BILLIONS

The purpose of this Reform Plan is as follows:
  1. To end our dependency on dangerous fossil fuels to generate energy.
  2. To reduce grid down times and make black outs a thing of the pass: 99.99 percent yearly up time.
  3. Make the Bahamas a complete Carbon Neutral Country
  4. Enter the Business of Energy
BPL Current Operational Status
Currently (BPL) Bahamas Power and Light Company has a published maximum installed capacity of 438 (MW), Megawatts covering New Providence and the Family of Islands.
BPLs Station A, which is located at Clifton Pier was completed at a cost of 96.8 million dollars ALONE. An addition to the national debt which was incurred to implement a system of energy production that is NOT in keeping with the GLOBAL TRENDS & INTERNATIONAL ENDORSEMENTS towards Alternative & Green Energy Systems. The Station A uses seven Wӓrtsilӓ 50DF engines with an individual power rating of 18.85 Mega Watts. Fossil Fuel Burners that collectively are capable of producing 131.95 Mega Watts. This national energy design is going in the Wrong Direction!
It is believed that 50% of the energy produced by the current systems are lost due to lamp pole cable runs?
  • To remedy this avoidable loss, we are putting ALL cabling underground. This will also reduce hazards especially during the inevitable return of the Hurricane Season.
Here is the disapointing Truth!
  • BPL currently uses 480 Million annually to supply the Bahamas with suitable energy
  • Out of that number, 360 Million is used for FUEL cost!!! That speaks volumes!! 
Electricity will be FREE for all Bahamians for residential use.
Businesses will still pay.


How is that possible?  We are moving to renewable energy sources.

Here is literally, the Billion Dollar Question
Why would we commit ourselves as a Nation for another 20 years to Fossil Fuel Technologies and its many debilitating appendages and toxic biproducts especially when we have ample access to a readily available source of energy for FREE due to our global positioning?

There are Many Green Energy Innovations & Initiatives that can be locally utilized to facilitate a NATIONAL NEUTRAL CARBON FOOTPRINT while costing our country Absolutely….. NOTHING!

There are several Green Energy options that we are exploring. We have gone through each of these options with our  local & international experts:

1.Solar System Grid Configuration                                      
The logistical position of the Bahamas near the equator with direct sunlight coverage for most of the year makes this the best National Primary Source of Energy.

2. Heliostat Systems                                                                        
This System uses a reflective array to send heat to a given location to heat water and use the steam created to run the Electricity Generator. It can best be used to power large Industrial Operations that are zoned in remote areas such as Agricultural Companies and Textile Companies that may be fully outfitted with electronic infrastructure, hardware and vehicles.   

3. Tidal Power                                                                                               
With the cooperation of the tides with the coastal generator configuration of this technology in a strategic place where it is at least 5 Meters or 16.50feet Deep at Low Tide (i.e., The Glass Bridge Eleuthera), we can effectively produce substantial energy output.

4. Wave Power Stations                                                                            
This energy system uses the consistent, persistent movement of the waves to generate power and can effectively be utilized by remote offices, that may be logistically positioned to benefit from the offerings of this type of green energy.

5. Hydro Power                                                                                        
The natural eb and flow coupled with Strategically placed near mangroves, water current diversions may be set up by creation of artificial channels to facilitate access to this potential energy source. (Areas near the Abaco and Andros Mangroves)

Which System will we use?
We plan on using Solar Arrays & a Nationalized Grid configuration as the primary system to acquire energy to supply the whole nation with clean quantifiable solar energy.


How will the Local Citizens Benefit from this?
  1. Our Countries Carbon Credits, Will Pay for the Implementation of the System.  
  2.  15 Billion Dollars in Value
  3. Electricity will be FREE to all Bahamian residents for residential use
  4. Each location will produce a daily amount of energy with its local solar array
  5. If the Solar Systems production exceeds the homes electrical needs, the excess energy created will be fed back into the National Power Grid.
  6. When this happens, the producing household will receive a credit or issue of monetized value of the energy sent back into the grid from the Utility Company. This check can be used for any purpose the recipient deems necessary. The more the excess in power production that is sent to the Grid, the larger the Solar Credit.
 
 
 
The VISION to make the Bahamas a fully Carbon Neutral country by 2030
To accomplish this the government will set the standard and lead by example:
The C.O.I Government will Evolutionaize ALL Governmental Systems, Vehicles and Infrastructure to Fully Renewable Energy Sources by 2027 inclusive of the following:
  • All Government Buildings will be Solar Powered and will have LED lighting throughout.
    • This includes government offices and schools
  • All Street lights will be LED and Solar Powered
  • All Government Parking Lots will be lit by Solar Powered LED Lights.
  • Energy Timers will be placed on every Government Building to more efficiently manage the energy Needs and Savings
  • All Governmental Vehicles Inventory Categories will be Electric

​Our Plans regarding Government Vehicles

Heavy Duty and Modified Utility Vehicles

 $42,000-$55,000

​Police Electric Motorbikes
  

Reasons to shift to electric Police Motorcycles:
• Economical to operate
• Easy to maintain and little to no continued maintenance 
• Built to last – batteries exceed the life of the motorcycle • Community connection – quiet and environmentally conscious

BAHAMASAIR

Bahamasair will sell off its current air fleet and replace it with electric airplanes:
  • Sea Glider- 18 passenger electric sea plane
  • Flying Bus- 40 passenger airplane
  • Cessna 208 Ecaravan- Carries 9 passengers.

100% CARBON NEUTRAL


We will convert the country to 100% Carbon neutral by 2030.

We will transform our nations National Energy Provider, BPL, from fossil fuel technology to one of Solar Grid design and speed up the transformation of our nation from the traditional to a more  green energy conscious society.
  • Duty Free import of all renewable energy products or products that reduce carbon emission.



We will build Carbon Neutral Housing Communities

All future government housing projects will be Carbon Neutral Housing Communities
  • Fully carbon neutral smart homes
  • Paid for by carbon credits and loans
  • Homes monitor your usage in order to certify carbon credits
  • Persons are paid to live in the homes
  • Home generates revenue monthly through in carbon credits.
  • Part proceeds are used to maintain the community
  • Part proceeds go to the Sovereign Wealth Fund
  • The occupant lives rent free/mortgage free and can own the home outright after 5 years of occupancy.
Various models of Carbon Neutral Homes will be built
Communities will be gated with careful attention paid to landscaping. Community will feature waterways including lakes and rivers (canals). Community will feature a boutique beach front resort.
Location for the first Green Community is at the South Beach Pinewood canals site. This acrage is owned by government. There is no flooding in this area. 

DISTRICT COOLING SYSTEM

We will facilitate the cooling of every home and business in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas with our District Cooling System. Residential Cooling will be FREE and Commercial Cooling at significant cost savings
The implementation of the District Cooling System will reduce the Solar Grid Load by up to 50% due to the elimination of the need for air conditioning. This video will illustrate.


In phase one we will provide cooling to government buildings and schools. The second phase will provide colling to the new green communities. Phase 3 will provide cooling to hotels and commercial buildings. Phase 4 will cool private homes across the nation.

BAHAMAS ENERGY CONGLOMERATE

We will export the Power of the Sun
Due to corruption the Bahamas struggles to meet its energy needs. Our focus goes beyond energy survival. We will generate access renewable energy and sell it directly to neighbouring countries. We will become a major exporter of energy.
There are Countries that are strategically positioned logistically to supply energy to neighboring countries in their region. These capabilities provide a stable diversifiable industry and needed commodity of trade at a reasonable cost for the participants.
Australia is one country that has done just that. They have engaged in the production of power in the Australian Outback and have set up the infrastructures needed to sell and send this power to Singapore which is over 4000 kilometer or 3,106 miles away. Watch this video
The Australian Power plant uses a massive solar array to acquire solar energy and it efficiently transports it via cables underwater to its destination. An Australian/Singaporean company known as Sun Cable was created to facilitate this awesome feat.

How will we do this?
In the same way Dubai uses their Private, Government Owned Company Nakheel to effectively serve the purposes of the State and the best interests of its People through investment opportunities, we too intend to use the same model that has been proven to work which has made an entire country wealthy in ways both material and intrinsic that did not oppress or enslave its masses nor compromise the integrity, sovereignty and operation of its leadership.

We intend to use our own Government formed, Private Company to give locals access to this opportunity in a Major Investment. Bahamians will be allowed to Buy shares in this new innovative market.
​
We intend to erect massive Solar Power Arrays at the following islands and like Australia, we will run high voltage lines to the purchasing client.
  • Freeport Grand Bahama – Supplying Palm Beach Florida with Power (68 miles away)
    • Palm Beach has had vexing power issue and they are searching for a solution
    • We can sell reliable solar power to them cheaper than burning fossil fuels
  • Andros – Supplying the Yucatan Peninsula inclusive of Cancun Mexico (600 mile away), Havana, Cuba NW(270 miles)
    • Cuba has been suffering from rolling blackouts
  • Inagua – SE Cuba (53 miles), Haiti (62 miles), DR (122miles), Turks & Caicos (50miles)
    • All of these nations have millions of residents and a desperate need for reliable energy.
Picture
The opportunities are endless.
This is a reform built on Vision and the best interests of our people not greed and corruption. With this plan EVERYONE truly WINS!!!
My fellow Bahamians CHANGE IS HERE
