I saw a documentary on Dominica which was very disturbing.

President Hugo Chavez said Venezuela would soon begin building an oil refinery on the Caribbean island of Dominica as part of his government's efforts toward regional economic integration.

Chavez also announced that Dominica would join the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, or ALBA - a regional trade group that also includes Cuba, Iran, Bolivia and Nicaragua.

The beautiful green island of Dominica is now debating if the Prime Minister of Dominica should sign the contract with Hugo Chavez from Venezuela to build Oil Refinery in Dominica.

One more pristine corner will be erased from our planet with one stroke of the pen.

The economy of this country would be finally undermined:
 
Firstly, tourist will not show up here anymore – which person would travel through all this complications just to get to an island with permeated smell of oil? As a result, not only the people, who work in the tourism industry (hotels, guides, divers and others), will lose their jobs, but also the people who serve them – shops, supermarkets and etc.

Secondly, it will agriculture end: who wants to buy bananas, coffee and other products grown on the oil? Rare species of fish will become extinct, giant turtles and whales will not be here anymore too.

Thirdly, all smart people, who do something or understand the situation on the island, will the first to flee hence; the rest of people will just follow them later. As a result, on the island it will remain 400 staff of oil refinery and 400 firefighters to extinguish explosions.

That is such a joyful picture of the future for the pristine nature island, which is listed by UNESCO as a greatest world heritage.
