Residents are demanding answers as Puerto Rico endures frequent power outages from a grid in critical condition. Local businesses are losing money without power to operate, while the two separate entities responsible for power generation and transmission promise things will get better.

#NightlyNews #PuertoRico #PowerGrid
Why OH WHY are repaired power lines and grids still being installed ABOVE GROUND in areas that are susceptible to hurricane activity? Not just Puerto Rico, but the US at large.
Not sure if mainland USA has noticed the patterns but PR is a microcosm of what happens next in the mainland :|.
Such a shame, about everybody and everything on that island.
Didn’t some of these issues get fixed after the hurricanes when supposedly the mango morons administration was responsible for getting Puerto Rico’s power grid and generation replaced
Puerto Rico refuses to pay electric bills.
Intellectweb are the best.
Great work from they added funds to my PayPal making me and independent single mom of three kids
Shame there is no help for Puerto Rico
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now" I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*
Question is where to get all the workers to build the power plants?
🇺🇸 Dr. Simone Gold@drsimonegold
I can confirm this is true. A number of elected officials have reached out to me over the last year and requested this treatment.
Congress and their families & staffers have been treated with IVM & our I-MASK+ protocol for COVID. NO hospitalizations.
Didn't comrade Biden promise to fix this?
Oh, he forgot…
Oh well your screwed
All Hail Clown Biden 🙋â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Im not sure why everyone keeps talking about the power plant going bad after Hurricane Maria. I lived in PR for several years during the early 2000s. The power went out all the time. And the electricity bills were very high. It sounds even worse now. The people deserve better.
This happens everywhere expect in Singapore.
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in Bitcoin as it's retracing….BE WISE
Send us free from the United States! We don’t wanna be part of your racist country!
From San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Fix it!!!! Before the next storm.
Disney character panties are the best kind of panties to wear…,,,
How Embarrassing.
Best to keep a generator in the garage fueled and ready ðŸ‘ÂÂ
Always the same situations all around the world:
A: "We need to fix this"
B: "Can't. Too expensive. Live with it."
NATURE STRIKES
A: "OMG! We need to fix this!!"
B: "Umm, so, we're trying, but it's hard. There was a natural disaster…"
A: "I freakin' KNOW about the disasters, you tosser! I was essentially warning you about it years ago when I said: WE NEED TO FIX THIS! I wasn't just being a whiney little ¢uÀ¥, you pretentious moron. It was about the FACTS and the SCIENCE, not my emotional nor political status!!"
🙄🙄🙄
If we don't learn from what happens to the US VI & Puerto Rico we won't be ready for this end of year winter storms.
Their 2017 natural disasters were our drill yet we weren't for this year Texas power out due to the freeze, sad.
it's very simple they will keep shutting off the electricity until someone gives the money. it's a hostage situation
this is nothing new tbh
Making Puerto Rico a state would be the right move, right!! 😂😂😂😂
It’s all Trump’s fault.
We are just become a third world country just like the republic of California!! Smh..😂
They will shut this down on october 12th and blame a weak (minor)solar storm
I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal.
My used is $45 and with all the extra changes that Luma has added I have a bill of $400 a month that I have to paid. There’s no option if you don’t pay what they want they will cut off your electricity.

marvelous
Shout out to George Floyd on eighteen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕🚩
As a person who's born in PUERTO RICO what we know for a very long time is that we get no respect from the US GOVERNMENT were often neglected and abused if it hasn't gotten better then it's not gonna get better anytime soon
Great job Joe 👠👠👌
