Episode notes

The governor for the first time sort of articulated some doubt in the contract that they have with Luma. They do have a deadline that they need to assess whether this 15 year contract was something they're going to continue with. The other option is to renegotiate to make the terms less generous than they are right now. It remains to be seen what the Puerto Rican people and its political entities are willing to tolerate in that transaction.

Days after Ian, most Floridians now have their power back. Weeks after Fiona, more than 100,000 Puerto Rican households and businesses are still coping with blackouts and an outdated grid. The Washington Post’s Arelis Hernández explains.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
