Venezuela has more oil than any other nation in the world
Venezuela's 'butt-lift' boom
The South American country is facing political and economic crises. But neighbours from the south are bringing new business in a surprising way.
11 January 2018
Brazil: home of its namesake “butt lift,” South America’s largest country has long had a thriving plastic surgery industry that has fuelled countless liposuctions, implants, nips and tucks.
But recently, the economic woes of Brazil’s northern neighbour Venezuela are prompting more Brazilians to cross the border for surgery, where cosmetic tweaks are far cheaper.
Under the administration of its president Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela has been stricken by falling oil revenues, violent anti-government protests and widespread food shortages. Inflation is rife and the value of the country’s currency – the bolivar – has dropped dramatically since early 2016.
The sudden increase in purchasing power has created a unique opportunity for Francisca Maia Vasconcelos, who has built a business ferrying patients, mostly from the city of Manaus in Brazil, across the border to the Venezuelan town of Puerto Ordaz, where surgeries are cheaper.
Though prices vary, a liposuction, breast and buttock augmentation surgery in Venezuela can cost Brazilians around 10,000 real ($3,098). In Brazil the same procedures can cost closer to 30,000 real.

Because we don't have any other means of generating electricity.. coal is cheaper and we already have infrastructure to burn it.
Alot of things in Trinidad is dependent on a constant supply of electricity. Nobody have time for investing in renewable energy like tidal power.. it is too costly cuz you will have to do environmental assessments, modelling, find a company with suitable technology etc etc. They should have done this 20 years ago.. they thought oil/gas/coal would last forever.

i think its coals for BBQ pits. Lots of BBQ biz around and its probably expensive to source locally because of our trini mentality if you using it to make money you automatically should pay more for it.
I Saw a boat bring couple tons of ole iron already to trade on the wharf in sando.

Wdf you talking bout? Trinidad's electricity generation solely utilizes natural gas! We don't use coal!
