The Opposition APNU+AFC is contending that the gas-to-shore project, slated for Wales, West Bank Demerara is not viable, adding that it is in possession of studies to support its contention.
The claim was made yesterday at a press conference by Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton and his economic advisor Elson Low. However, Norton declined to share specifics of the study or say what they found to lead them to the conclusion that the project is not viable.
“We have a number of people researching and the research is showing that [the gas to shore project] is not viable and therefore we will continue to expose the fact that it is not viable and take political action…we are clear as ever based on the research that was done that the gas to shore programme as presently constituted at the present venue is not viable and feasible, and therefore should not really go ahead,” Norton said.
