The governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rosselló, acknowledged today that he is not entirely satisfied with the pace of work carried out by the US Army Corps of Engineers to restore the electric grid on the island and is convinced that it is necessary for them to “step up their game”.
Although the goal of reaching 30% of power generation was almost met, a goal imposed by Rosselló himself on October 14, the governor said he had a “great dissatisfaction” with the pace of the task played by the Corps Of Engineers of the US military.
“What are we seeing now?” That it has not been fulfilled, since we have not fulfilled ourselves, we have to look for other alternatives. “The truth is that the Corps of Engineers continue with plans and goals that are inconsistent with what was initially proposed and we have to look for alternatives to power Puerto Rico, “he said.
Although he acknowledged that there are “many people working very hard” fixing the electric grid, he said he does not see a sense of urgency, as if PR wasn’t part of the United States.
