A news story on recovery efforts in Puerto Rico after the destruction caused by Hurricane Maria includes comments from Robert N. Pollin, Distinguished Professor in economics and co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute. Pollin says rebuilding the island’s energy infrastructure using a green growth strategy will lower energy costs and modernize the system at the same time. It will also produce jobs and help reduce Puerto Rico’s dependency on the federal government. (Cleantechnica.com, 12/12/18)
