Jamaica’s Nuclear Reality The Truth About the PM’s Energy Plan

Prime Minister Andrew Holness recently outlined a vision for Jamaica to embrace Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) to escape our crippling oil bills. But are we actively ignoring the abundant, free energy right above our heads? In this video, I break down why bypassing ready-to-build solar and wind projects for an expensive, unproven, and highly centralized nuclear mega-project might be a massive mistake. With electricity costs sitting at an excruciating 45 cents per kilowatt-hour, Jamaicans need immediate solutions—not a decade-long wait for a first-of-a-kind reactor that hasn't even been commercially proven in the West. We explore the reality of SMRs, the hidden upfront costs, the lack of transparency in billion-dollar mega-projects, and what it really means to hand the keys of a nuclear program to a government struggling with basic accountability. 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Sun, wind, or reactors?
