There's no fossil fuel resources on Jamaica, and because even the larger Caribbean islands are pretty small they suffer diseconomies of scale in terms of importing them leading to low competition and high prices. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW https://t.co/MwUpeLbzPW — PolitiTweet.org

Jamaica has all this bauxite. You use bauxite to make aluminum. So why can't they move up the value chain and start making aluminum and then making stuff that's made out of aluminum? Electricity is way too expensive. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW https://t.co/xoSL8YXYr5 — PolitiTweet.org

High energy costs also directly reduce the living standards of Jamaican consumers who own few cars, air conditioners, and other modern conveniences. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW https://t.co/H1EPUk9qxU — PolitiTweet.org
