It seemed like a grudging admission. It may have been his hope that his back-handed comment that “previous governments had focused on the natural gas industry” would have been overlooked. But there was the Energy Minister on November 11, announcing proposals for a US$1.4 million natural gas master plan, reminding the country that 18 years ago gas production had eclipsed oil production, and the industry “has not looked back since”.
“We are the third largest producers of natural gas in the Americas. We are the sixth largest exporter of liquefied natural gas in the world, and the largest exporter of ammonia and methanol in the world,” the minister boasted.

The minister, however, did not tell the full story. He did not add how T&T achieved that quantum leap onto the world stage, and he chose not to pay tribute to the persons who took us there.
Driving through Arima recently, I again reflected on the quality of life of the average shopper on its main street. “Look at their clothes. What is the difference, in lifestyle, between the Arima shopper and shoppers in other parts of the world that I have visited? T&T is, indeed, way above the rest of the Caribbean,” I mused.

A few of my colleagues still disagree—but I have held my position that the every T&T citizen should say a quiet prayer for the late prime minister Dr Eric Williams and for Prof Ken Julien, every day.
It was Dr Williams who created the architecture for our liberal democratic state whose institutions are being eroded by everyday assault.
And it was Dr Julien, then UWI professor of electrical engineering, who translated Dr Williams’ vision for the Point Lisas Industrial Estate to be transformed into a world-class energy platform. The industries developed in the estate vaulted T&T onto the world stage as an energy producer of significance.

Dr Julien returned again in the 1990s, leading a pioneering team—with the blessings of then prime minister Patrick Manning—that entrenched T&T’s presence further on the world stage—this time as the world’s first gas-based economy.
Last week I asked UWI lecturer, and respected petroleum economist, Gregory McGuire, to give me an estimate of revenues, first from the Point Lisas Estate, then the gas industry. He admitted that the data is there but needed to be refined.
“Point Lisas Estate has been around for 40 years. It has been a huge, huge financial plus for T&T. It had its negatives, its lean years in the 1980s, but overall millions have rolled out from there.
“The social impact has been tremendous. Just look at the spin-off industries in Point Lisas. For example, Super Industrial Services Co. (SIS) evolved from there into the giant it is today. John Williams Construction Co, too, is a major beneficiary.’’

I asked him to evaluate Ken Julien’s role in that transformation. “Pivotal!” Mc Guire asserted. “Prof Julien was central to the development of Point Lisas, and later the economic transformation of T&T in the 1990s.
“The T&T model is lauded in the industry, but this is only a part of his achievements, e.g. the e-Teck Industrial Park, planned for Tamana, and UTT are out of the mind of Prof Julien.”
Regrettably, it was because of his work in these two areas that the AG has filed a suit against Prof Julien, and the boards of the two institutions.
In the e-Teck lawsuit, the State is seeking to reclaim $30 million, and $12 in the UTT matter. At the same time, the AG is yet to explain to the country his reasons for not pursuing similar action against Environment Minister Ganga Singh for his alleged role in WASA’s cancellation of a contract with an Israeli company.

That matter was settled at the International Court of Arbitration in London and WASA was given 14 days to pay $100 million for breach of contract.
Trinbagonians all live Dr Williams’ dream, many enjoying it without even a vague understanding of its rudiments. To some Dr Williams may be just the name of a man who lived a long time ago.
Prof Julien, however, is still with us, enjoying international recognition for his work in academia and the energy industry.
Some believe Prof Julien is being vilified allegedly by bit players in their small game of political one-upmanship. But mention his name in the larger international energy community… and listen for the accolades.

Super Industrial Services Co. (SIS) and John Williams Construction Co. Did not evolved , they were formed by the PNM and handed pick from the PNM. John Williams is Manning personal friend.

Millions came out of Pt lisas but how much of that was spent top develop south over the years.

They forgot to add that Ken Julien ran a brand spanking new ISCOTT in the ground and had tobe sold to ISPATT .

The definition of proof is evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, which delves into science and accuracy to which the aforementioned persons usually clutter with conclusions, assumptions and ole-talk.

The people you are questioning do not require proof and will come up with pseudo-science and judgemental reasoning to conclude where they are most comfortable.

They are wolves in sheep clothing, calling sheep wolves as everyone knows who, the organisations and the agenda of the real racists in this country .

Quoting that sentence for archiving purposes with regards to how simple tasks like writing a coherent sentence eludes you. I wonder how you perform complex tasks and exist as an adult in society?

Moreover, a five minute listen to the Maha Sabha station is enough to cause permanent brain damage and severe loss of brain cells and normal brain activity. I do not recommend

It was akin to rewarding a outspoken racist with a bigger platform to spew vitriol to the gullible and the malleable who are leaning to those sort of disgusting thought patterns anyway

Freedom of Speech is enshrined in the Constitution, however I have observed over many years where other radio stations play disclaimers and police their own speech, this man has no licence for his mouth and sees no repercussions either for the openly racist and hate speech he allows and conducts. To make matters worse the leader of this country says publicly to him to "keep talking" hoping it will stir up the base because that is all she can attract at the moment after throwing away the best hand the public in this country has ever dealt a politician other than 33-3.

To whom much is given, much is expected

Those are countries that are Oil based. Trinidad is no longer an oil based economy. Stop with your propaganda

According to: PNM Conrad Enil

Energy Consultant says no ripple effect from drop in oil prices Email | Print | Last Updated on 27.11.2014
Published Date Share on Facebook Former Energy Minister and Energy Consultant Conrad Enil says a drop in global crude oil prices will not have ripple effects for T&T’s energy-driven economy.

Fears that a global drop in crude oil prices could impact negatively on T&T’s energy-driven economy stemmed from a Fitch Ratings publication.

However, the former Energy Minister said it is not likely that external oil shocks will shake up T&T's primarily gas-based economy.

"The Trinidad and Tobago economy today, thankfully, is more a gas-based economy than an oil based economy. What that means is in production terms, our reproduction, if you measure it in barrel of oil equivalent, it’s about under 100,000 in terms of oil and just over 800,000 or 900,000 in terms of gas. So we should be more concerned about the gas prices rather than oil prices."

He said an oil-based economy has the propensity for boom and bust - rising oil prices equal prosperity and decreasing oil prices would result in an economy in decline.

He explained that oil and gas trends do not operate in the same way.

"Whereas oil is a global business, gas primarily is regional. So for example in the past we have had very low prices in the US market but we have diverted to other jurisdictions and we have gotten very high prices. So there’s a lot more flexibility in terms of gas marketing than oil. The trick though is as shale gas becomes more of a reality over the longer term, your flexibility with global pricing or regional pricing might also change."

Mr. Enill said there seems to be a steady demand for gas.

"The characteristics of oil, in so far as the environment is concerned, is in many jurisdictions very negative. The better fuel as far as they are concerned is gas and then they move into CNG and renewables. The data I saw some time ago suggested that while the demand for gas did not grow, it did not in fact decrease. So there is still a large body of countries and individuals and organisations that depend on gas. We saw though that the demand for shale can increase."

The Energy Consultant said many industries continue to rely on oil and gas derivatives but he said T&T must develop into a Modern Industrial State and explore the possibility of turning gas into plastics

I am glad to see your renewed trust in Trini media, now that it agrees with what you are saying

Nevertheless, even though we are a gas based economy, we still sell oil and it still contributes significantly to our revenues. Last night on news the current minister of energy expressed concerned over the shortfall of revenue from this.

Unlike you I try not to see these issues as UNC vs. PNM. These are T&T issues and I await the finance minister's address

Every thing you write about on this chead is to put your PNM spin on it and try to convince others that this goverment is bad. You provide mis leading articles that are one sided.
You know we are a gas based nation yet still you come on here to post your crap about oil and what the goverment doing about it.

You maybe cant remember oh dont want to but this UNC goverment ran this nation on $9 US a barrel, so they know how to manage this nation, unlike PNM whose plan is to tax ppl more and spend wild with nothing to show for it when oil drops. Thats their 2030 plan

So how come "dey ent like Indos" PNM did give licences to plenty Hindu stations? How even UNC (de supposed Hindu party, even Suruj alleged to say so...) ent give many Hindu station licences? How come PNM did give Win TV, IETV, and IBN TV licences? And IETV and Win does show mostly Nigerian films, ent? I ent no PNM, but then many UNCs say KRowley doh like Indos. what has he ever said or done, whether now or in the past to warrant this comment? is there proof?

As for schools, I like to research my points.
