Dear Editor,
Bravo! Bravissima! I am standing up and applauding! What am I applauding? The best performance of a comedy this year.
Yes! GEBE is the funniest damned comedy of the year. Give this company an Oscar for the skill of all its actors. If I wasn't laughing so hard......I'd be screaming! Screaming, again, for my electricity to stay on; screaming for my appliances not to be fried. And as for the pitiful reasoning (excuses) given by Mr. Brooks, once again, please – Just Stop! Stop the stupidity!
Everyone has one and they all stink! What about the new generators? And yet they need another? Just how many will GEBE buy, with our money? Where do these generators come from? Are they new? Used? Cheap? And does anyone know how to install/maintain them? As soon as the latest generator was to come on line, we had more outages!
What? Did they forget to plug it in? Where is all our money going to? Imagine: 30,000 + people on the Dutch side. Average monthly bill $100. That equals $3,000,000 USD a month. That is just the tip of the iceberg. There are businesses that pay thousands of dollars each month. And yet dear Mr. Brooks wants more. For what?
And, as for the "unexpected developments?" OK...some of that blame goes to government. New housing areas, such as Porto Cupecoy are straining an already messy system. Government needs to regulate the rate of construction on this rock before it just sinks from the weight of concrete!
And what about other reusable, renewable sources of energy? Solar? Wind? Water? We are surrounded by all three. St. Kitts/Nevis has tapped into Geo-Thermal power - steam from volcanic vents. St. Maarten was asked to join this movement but declined. Why? The price was too high. I beg your pardon? What can't GEBE afford with a minimum of three million dollars a month coming in? All that has to be done is lay the cable. There is no such thing as a price too high to better your country!
Dear Mr. Brooks, I quote a man of history, John F. Kennedy who simply asked, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
