Kaieteur News – The decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to exempt government’s 300 megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant from a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) shows a pattern of continued negligence by the government, towards the environment and health of its citizens. In an exclusive interview with Kaieteur News on Sunday, the specialist said the waiver…

I follow with daily frustration, the widespread misunderstanding of Full Liability Coverage which is being misconstrued as full liability insurance. There is no such thing as “full liability insurance”, since it is unrealistic for any insurance company to underwrite such a large sum. Thence, it was most painful to watch our Honourable Ministers argue against…

I watched with amusement, Exxon’s latest statement of March 2, 2022, and the frenzied utterings of our Honourable Vice President, even calling me a liar. I respect the office of the VP, so will not debase myself to the indignity of responding in kind, but will leave it to the people who know him better…

It’s insulting that Exxon once again seems to believe that Guyanese people are stupid, attempting to bamboozle us with fanciful talk to camouflage the truth; but judging by their modus operandi and reputation around the world, I leave it to the Guyanese people to decide who is believable. First, with respect to the US$2.5 Billion…
