> A lack of energy resources can have dire health implications, so Tesla will first deploy battery systems at the most critical locations. These include a sewer treatment plant, the Arcadia water pumping station, the Ciudad Dorada elderly community, the Susan Centeno hospital, and the Boys and Girls Club of Vieques.
Doesn't sound like empty promises.
Tesla can’t fix apathetic government and locals. There’s a reason Puerto Rico is in the condition it’s in.
It’s a shame; the people of PR deserve better.
Making PR the 51st state is one "fix" and the other is to let PR free of US tendrils. They voted last year that they wanted to become a 51st state, but the GOP has no interest in a new state made up of Latinos. Ironically, the people of PR are actually extremely conservative, but that might change electorally given the bile coming from the current conservative party.
For a minute there I thought you were describing the USA - there's way too much corporate money in government and the electorate just doesn't care.
