Disagree with Appeal Court devastating overturn of crucial oil spill Parent Co Guarantee
While looking ahead to a likely appeal to the Caribbean Court of Justice, Guyanese and Caribbean citizens must be worried sick about the Appeal Court’s devastating overturn of Justice Sandil Kissoon’s May 3, 2023 sage landmark Decision requiring Stabroek Block operator, ExxonMobil (Exxon) Guyana Limited (EMGL) to provide a Parent Company Guarantee (PCG) from its…
Pres. Ali ‘hijacked’ the term “energy balance”
I am an energy technologist who has conducted energy audits and surveys. The term ‘energy balance’ used to be reserved for applications of the 1st law of thermodynamics (also known as the law of conservation of energy).

ExxonMobil Guyana Limited, Chevron, and CNOOC Employ Two-Pocket Accounting to Squeeze Guyana’s Profit Share by US$9.1 Billion
In a recent KN Article (https://kaieteurnewsonline.com/2026/04/19/exxon-and-partners-profits-soar-to-us29b-in-5-years-while-guyana-received-us5-4b-in-50-50-partnership/), it was pointed out that during the period 2020 to 2024, Guyana’s share of profit oil, which should have amounted to 50 percent of total profit (Article 11.4, 2016 PSA), was far less than expected. In fact, instead of Guyana receiving US$14.5 Billion, Guyana only received US$5.4 Billion, a shortfall of…
Solar power vs. expensive Gas-to-Energy project
The Kaieteur News editorial of Saturday April 11 on the Aurora Gold Mines (AGM)[i] solar farm displays current evidence of my advocacy of solar power instead of the expensive Gas-to-Energy (GtE) project, which enriches foreign investors and contractors. 12 years ago, I set up a small home solar power system, which still supplies…
