Around 50,000 solar and battery power systems have been installed on homes in Puerto Rico in recent years, and most seemed to continue working during Hurricane Fiona.

, remains"almost 50 years out of date," Schumer added.

The damage caused by Hurricane Fiona showed how vulnerable Puerto Rico's power system still is five years after Hurricane Maria plunged the territory into an 11-month blackout.ERIKA SANTELICES/AFP via Getty Images "It's showing that renewables paired with storage ... are really the fundamental building blocks of a clean recovery that we need to really focus on on the island and elsewhere," he says.

This is amazing! Now hope the solar panel companies make it affordable for more families to be about to easily obtain without going deeper in personal debt!

SEIA Clear demonstration of the urgent need to rapidly deploy solar installations since impact of climate change is being felt with increasing frequency.

JasonLaCanfora My relatives in Corozal have been without power or running water since last Friday. It’s infuriating. Again.

wow and GavinNewsom lsanchez020 is considering a SolarTax in California.

Talk about solar, talk about damage but don't talk about the BILLIONS sent to Puerto Rico after Maria for expressly fixing the power grid.....

We need to add lots more of this.

californiapuc is trying to stop this benefit nosolartax

🙏🏽🇵🇷

If they can't afford a grid they sure can't afford to do it with solar and batteries. Oh that's right someone else is paying (as always with the Green New Deal). Solar panels and hurricanes, yeah great combination.

All paid for by the American tax payers

philritz1 Decentralized power generation, like Tesla battery solar panels.

MaryGPowell Sunrun I am 💯 behind Solar. However many in 🇵🇷 are struggling with the systems. We have been waiting for 13MONTHS for a battery replacement. This is abusive. In what other industry a company dishonors an agreement and gets away with it? I am so angry. LynnJurich SESA_PR

Remember when this happened five years ago (Maria) and it was ALL TRUMP'S FAULT!!! Good thing he's out of office, and this is being handled so much better by Biden. When they eventually get the power back on there, they'll know just how lucky they are!

bethsawin “It's showing that renewables paired with storage ... are really the fundamental building blocks of a clean recovery that we need to really focus on on the island and elsewhere,'

Why is the news so quiet from Alaska?

That is one of the good lessons we need about solar panels. We need to have almost every home in the US with them.

Careful GavinNewsom might add a California solartax

Send our Ukraine money to Puerto Rico ok.....sorry bout that

It’s about 4% of homes, for those wondering.
