Hurricane season looms over Puerto Rico’s brittle grid

It’s been almost six months since Hurricane Fiona battered Puerto Rico’s brittle power grid, and while the territory hasn’t faced any major disruptions since then, this year’s hurricane season is quickly approaching. Some Puerto Ricans worry that their good fortune might not last much longer, and that they may once again face potentially fatal consequences from devastating blackouts. POLITICO’s Gloria Gonzalez breaks down the short and long-term concerns from Puerto Ricans about the territory’s power infrastructure. Plus, the White House vows to veto House Republicans’ energy bill that’s expected to reach the chamber floor this week.   Gloria Gonzalez is the Deputy Energy Editor at POLITICO Pro.
