The article from Politico discusses the ongoing electricity crisis in Puerto Rico, exacerbated by natural disasters like Hurricane Maria in 2017 and Hurricane Fiona in 2022, which have left the island's power grid in a state of disrepair. Despite billions in federal aid, the grid remains fragile, with frequent blackouts and a slow recovery process. The piece highlights the political and economic complexities involved in rebuilding the grid, including debates over privatization, the role of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), and the influence of local and federal politics. It also touches on the social impact, with residents facing daily challenges due to unreliable power, affecting everything from healthcare to education. The narrative weaves through the frustration of locals, the bureaucratic hurdles, and the broader implications for energy policy and infrastructure resilience in the face of climate change.
