Puerto Ricans were set to receive $1 billion worth of solar+battery systems under a program established by the Biden administration — desperately needed on an island with a run-down grid, battered by severe weather.
Trump axed it. Only 6,000 of 40,000 planned systems were installed.
Crappy headline. Makes it sound like solar failed instead it’s just Trump pulling the plug on renewables and screwing over Puerto Rico yet again.
