I honestly think they need to be made a state obviously it won't happen because Republicans won't have it but they need the full power of the federal government to help that island.

Sad story. After the last disaster, some of the residents likely started using solar panels as an alternative.

After Maria the gov sold the management of the electric grid to a private company that been jacking up costs like crazy (electric bills going up 80-100 dollars in just a few months) while the grid keeps deteriorating.

Even without hurricanes PR's grid has been garbage. Constant blackouts multiple times a week, multihour blackouts all the time. Just a few months ago the entire island lost power for 2-3 days, and last year there was another incident where everyone lost power for hours.


The storm wasnt even that bad in the northeast where most people live. Power grid is just a complete joke
