<\/p>\n
We should rebuild ALL of our grid, to include power storage and alternative energy sources. Right now, Puerto Rico has like zero grid, so how much MORE sense does it make? You have to rebuild anyway…why not do it right for a change? And, it’s pretty fucking sunny there near the equator, so how much sense does solar make? Why do it if you’re not going to #DoItRight<\/p>\n
