My island council joined in the proceedings to guarantee the delivery of oil, If not the light will go out on 24 May. The result will be disruption of the economy and chaos in the street, the lawyers warned.

PDVSA refuses to cooperate to find a solution even if this means that my island will have no power next week.

Other islands are also running lawsuits against herds done by ConocoPhillips.

Our power plant receives its fuel via the pipes and tanks from the oil company which was seized on 4 May. ConocoPhillips received a claim of $ 2 billion in compensation for nationalization of property by Venezuela in 2007.

We only get 30 percent of the energy from windmills.

All parties are demanded to cooperate in the delivery of oil. Curoil and ConocoPhillips want to deposit the payment into a third-party account, but PDVSA refuses.

The Island Governor can issue an emergency order on the basis of disruption of public order, but according to the lawyer all the oil will be gone before this gets resolved. The attorney of Conoco wants to cooperate: "We can arrange this after the court session." Despite the court's insistence PdVSA also refuses to cooperate with this solution.
