Outlook on Natural Gas in the Caribbean: an interview with Jed Bailey, Energy Narrative

Summary: Caribbean countries have traditionally depended upon oil-derived products for the bulk of their energy needs often with deleterious effects. But a recent IDB study argues that natural gas would decrease electricity prices and result in lower economic and environmental costs for countries of the region. We caught up with Jed Bailey, one of the study’s authors, to discuss the outlook for natural gas in the region, including sources of supply, potential points of entry, and the debate over LNG vs CNG.
