Your Excellency,
We have read with great interest your opinion on the supply of electricity by means of generators installed on ships that was proposed by HE Gebran Bassil.
We understand that you fear that this process will use unrefined oil that may be harmful to our environment and increase the pollution along our coasts.
The point that you have raised appears to be valid and important. Could you give us some additional technical details and expert opinion to support this view?
We read recently in the press that the project of "generator ships" was approved iu principle by the Council of Ministers and was due to be implemented soon.
The citizens would like to be fully updated on that important subject.
We fear that, apart from this short article in l'Orient Le Jour, we shall no longer hear about it for a long time.
The Reform of the Electricity in Lebanon has been the subject of thousand of studies during the past twenty years without any practical results to date.
This year, we fear that the losses of EDL will probably reach $2 billion considering the price of oil that has constantly hovered around eighty dollars per barrel.
It is high time for the citizens of this country to be told the full truth. Their opinions and their demands should be taken into consideration.
We have already suggested to HE Minister Bassil to appoint a member of his staff at the Ministry of Energy and Hydraulic Resources to receive the enquiries and the demands of the citizens and reply to them, either individually, or through a special "Energy Gazette" that should be published every month by the Ministry.
If you believe that this suggestion is appropriate kindly introduce it to the parliamentary commission concerned for consideration and approval.
