Guyana must act now!
Dear Editor,
U.S. new electricity is being sourced from solar (50%) and away from natural gas (8%) making it clear that solar should be the preferred long-term option. (Reference: Visual Capitalist, September 17, 2025, What’s Powering New U.S. Electricity?)
In addition, Venezuela’s recent showing of their Russian made jets in response to the U.S. military buildup in the region increases tensions and shortens the timeline of a possible military strike occurring, which will lead to an escalation in the current global conflict. As a nation we must also consider the dangers that an operational natural gas plant will pose in the event of Guyana being bombed. The power grid and bridges that are critical for supply chain and military needs are usually key targets at the beginning of a war.
As previously mentioned, bringing the U.S. and China together for a discussion on our national security with the purpose of finding a joint solution that both the U.S. and China can agree upon will help reduce tensions between Guyana, Venezuela and other countries that will be affected by a larger global conflict. It will also help reduce the military buildup along our western border and the risk of Guyana being involved in a war. The President and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation must make this a top priority in the immediate future. We must act now!
With urgency,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
