I read all the time on panama guide how various unions...who hate change, except when its comes to the size of their paychecks are holding business projects and the public hostage in Panama?

It is better to prepare for the worst and be happy if your preparation was not completely needed. Around here, I don't think you can be too prepared. Thanks Gordo.

One need only look at the recent water shortages in Boquete, Bocas, and elsewhere to see that infrastructure problems and shortages in Panama are often not addressed in a timely fashion.

ALL the Doom and Gloomers where predicting that Las Vegas would dry up for lack of water! Hmm seems to me they have been saying that for at least 75 years! Come to think of it they also said that about LA and Phoenix too. Last time I check all these cities were BOOMING. Panama will continue to grow...if the government continues to promote and encourages business. They will solve there infrastructure problems, they seem to be on the right course, not like Hugo Chavez who is a cry baby and took his ball and went home, because his people are too stupid to compete in the Olympics of business!

I guess they haven't had much effect. Abe - To have a forecast would imply you had a plan. From what i have seen, most things happen after the fact not before.

If the country encourages new immigrants, or aliens, then I am guessing they must have a forecast for increased energy use. I would think the water flushed in and out of the canal could be harnessed to generate more electricity and that happens daily.

If I was dictator for a day I would have personally executed every bus driver in Panama City! Those rolling train wrecks need to GO! The only gripe I have is “Rojos Diablos”!

SE- 3 weeks in Panama City. That explains the lack of comments! I was beginning to get worried about you. Had I known you were in PC, I would have been worried about the local Panamanians. :) Frank - There are some alternative energy companies here but I don’t know how expensive they are or how well they are received.
