I love On Florida and reports are saying close to 100,000 have come over since the hurricane. I must say they were hit hard but I believe they will recover and be stronger.

@davidpakman This is Why there should be an amount set aside each year in each State in the USA so that we can constantly Up grade the infrastructure until waiting for a disaster to take us off line.
Right but look at Eliot Spitzer in NY. I don't think he spent his money doing all he did wrong.
He is ok with too much and admits that here:
Eliot Spitzer saw fit to indicate that his and other's "sensibilities" told them you don't prosecute people for their vices. And now given the deregulation (Criminal culture enabling) caused this catastrophic collapse, maybe others will re-evaluate that. Given the fact he says he is not one to pass judgment.
So now he admits he was never in a position to judge and by that be Attorney General or Governor of NY State.
He has nullified the witness of the State.
He makes this admission around 01:42:50 in this documentary of the financial collapse.
This speaks to the naivete that Eliot Spitzer and now Cuomo demonstrates with stupid comments like this and Spitzer's decades of pubic service in NY as Attorney General and later Governor of NY State.
Spitzer was in office a total of 8 years as AG and one year as Governor of NY State and then does this.
I can only speak for electrical distribution and transmission, but we're constantly upgrading the infrastructure. Most of the projects I've been involved with are expanding existing substation to either add wind and solar plants or add new feeders from other subs to provide reliability. Very few of my projects have been upgrading existing infrastructure.
Agreed. We've been in a brain drain the last 10 or so years since the last infrastructure build-out 30 years ago. Unfortunately, infrastructure design/work isn't highly regarded. Much of this is due to the fact that in the developed world, reliable power is taken for granted.
You have lots of problems in Michigan and you can't drink the water either. Most of NY is having troubles and I can speak to failures at Robert Moses Hydro and the coal fired plant in Barker NY as well as others. Indian Point is failing being a nuke plant.... I think your facts are wrong.
Barker gets 40% of their tax base from the coal generating plant there and they are bankrupt and went offiline. So.....
My facts are correct, but I can't speak to your particular issues as I'm not familiar with those areas. But to imply that nothing being spent in infrastructure is disingenuous at best.
Transmission lines are one thing. So if you are talkiing just long distance runs etc then this won't help local grids much. Canada dropped their lines from Ontario over the Niagara River....
Transmission lines do help stabilize the local grids. Case in point is the 2011 San Diego blackout. One 500kV transmission line tripped offline during maintenance and the local grid collapsed.
Same problem. None of that helps local grids since any point of failulre can affect you and your home as does marginal elements in the network. They are not very fault tolerant. Your logic and architecture is wrong.
But then your final statement supports my view and not yours. Faults tend to propagate.
This is precisely why some people blindly say capitalism is evil. It doesn't have to be this way to rationally budget for the nation, we just need a priority check as a country.
Here let me help with that. He is essentially a Wall Street sponsored thief.
He worked to bankrupt other nations and succeeded and now feels he is a social activist and charity monger and he explains how you can all pitch in and help and donate money to fix his mess ! ! !
" 1971-80. Became an economic hit man, official title was Chief Economist at major international consulting firm. His job was to identify countries with resources corporations covet, like oil and arrange huge loans to those countries that were used to hire US companies to built big infrastructure projects that benefit a few wealthy people (as well as US companies) and leave the rest of the people (who do not benefit) in deep debt. When the loans defaulted he and other EHMs would go back and 'asset strip' the country. "
It is not capitalism that is the problem per se, it is the non foundation of law that USA offers. You can't judge an economic model in USA since you have no courts or law. Police ruined that.
Biggest problem that they have is DEBT CRISIS, which than affects everything. The scary thing is that it is not only Puerto Rico having this problem, but almost every country in the world is in debt bubble.
It is a shame what is happening to this island and to add to the fact that it is a part of the United States, the most powerful country on Earth at the moment, makes this down right disturbing.
The problem is people placing authority figures above themselves. Too many people would rather shirk responsibility and then bitch about the results instead of directly taking responsibility to create a solution. The problem isn't within politics, it's the people that direct their energy toward politics instead of being human. We've got free energy tech we're working on delivering to PR along with all kinds of other aid. We're not and organization and we don't want donations. We're humans, and we need people to know they are responsible too. We have the answers for those who understand that at this point, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Metered power and taxes are theft and slavery. #GEET

Obama would have done much and at a fast pace for Puerto Rico. Trumps

Those are called taxes. Problem is they are not spent on hookers and magnums of Dom Perignon...
Things can change with Crypto's

At least he left his socks on when spending your money sleeping with hookers.

USA is behind the 8 ball. Then lets talk rail and road and bridges....
Agreed. We've been in a brain drain the last 10 or so years since the last infrastructure build-out 30 years ago. Unfortunately, infrastructure design/work isn't highly regarded. Much of this is due to the fact that in the developed world, reliable power is taken for granted.

Your facts are wrong since your view is too narrow. You don't see enough of the problem.
Transmission lines are one thing. So if you are talkiing just long distance runs etc then this won't help local grids much. Canada dropped their lines from Ontario over the Niagara River....

And wind and solar in Buffalo etc won't work. The wind farms are not selling well and the solar is a no brainer there... no sun and lots of snow.
Agreed. Wind and solar have their place and are not meant to replace conventional energy sources, merely displace them.
This is precisely why some people blindly say capitalism is evil. It doesn't have to be this way to rationally budget for the nation, we just need a priority check as a country.
Exactly... Capitalism can be the engine that propels us into a green-tech economy at breakneck speeds.
RIght but why have people pay for it again? Like John Perkins? Know of him?
No, I havent heard of him.
Here let me help with that. He is essentially a Wall Street sponsored thief.
He worked to bankrupt other nations and succeeded and now feels he is a social activist and charity monger and he explains how you can all pitch in and help and donate money to fix his mess ! ! !

I take him at his word.
How an entire municipality in Norway was bankrupt by Wall St and their junk paper rated AAA or Treasury grade...

Send Tesla to restore power!!!
thank you for sharing :)
And of course, the mainstream media has forgotten. I did too @davidpakman. Thanks for keeping us up to speed.
Absolutely!
What he said... exactly right.
Biggest problem that they have is DEBT CRISIS, which than affects everything. The scary thing is that it is not only Puerto Rico having this problem, but almost every country in the world is in debt bubble.
Yes and USA did much of that harm....

Right... truth is USA is a bankrupt fraud. This is one more manifestation of that problem. Look at structures in the lower 48 states.....
Thanks for sharing
Un-frickin-beleivable!
There is even good . what of nigeria issues
enlightening. Important to bare in mind during this joyous festive time
