Bronx elected officials are raising concerns over Puerto Rico's failing energy infrastructure after a recent extensive blackout affected nearly all residents. Despite past federal investments following Hurricane Maria, the power system remains unreliable, with significant shortfalls expected in the coming months. U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres and other officials are calling on the Trump administration for emergency measures, labeling the situation a humanitarian crisis. The lack of progress is attributed to neglect and poor governance, urging for more collaboration to enhance the island's infrastructure.
It is unacceptable that since Hurricane Maria, little to no progress has been made to improve Puerto Rico's power system.
The frequent outages are not a natural accident but a direct consequence of failed governance and decades of neglect.
Puerto Rico's weak power system has been described as a humanitarian crisis.
There is ongoing federal disregard for the island's reliability in energy infrastructure.
