Earthjustice Statement on Puerto Rico's Failing Non-Renewable Energies in the Wake of Secretary of Energy's Visit to the Archipelago
On her second visit to Puerto Rico this week, Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm made positive remarks about the importance of widespread distributed renewable energy that ensures life-saving resiliency to Puerto Rico residents. While her visit to the archipelago raises the hopes of millions of residents there, both the federal government and Puerto Rico’s Energy Bureau have done little to guarantee a transition from a fossil fuel-dependent electrical grid towards a publicly funded, weather-resilient, zero-emission system using distributed rooftop solar and storage.
