Theresa Rodriguez-Moodie | Is oil really the light at the end of the tunnel for Jamaica?

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from jamaicagleaner · jamaica · North America

On October 22, the Jamaica Observer published an editorial “The Long Hunt for Oil: Is This the Light at the End of the Tunnel?” I had just finished watching a TVJ feature on Black River, almost one year after Hurricane Melissa. Residents described their struggle to rebuild, frustrated and angry by the lack of assistance. So the question of whether oil might be Jamaica’s light at the end of the tunnel struck a nerve.
