Energy Minister Conrad Enill disputes statements that this country could encounter hard times in the fallout from the energy policies of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama.


Yesterday Economist Dhanayshar Mahabir said Trinidad and Tobago would eventually feel the impact of Obama’s Energy Policy which stressed the use of alternative energy sources, including clean-burning coal to wean the U.S. off foreign oil.


But Mr. Enill says Obama’s policy was long-term.


He says even if there was a fall in demand from the U.S., there was unsatisfied demand from China, India and Trinidad and Tobago that could look to those markets.
