reforms must be made in puerto rico. foremost among these is allowing physics, engineering, economics, fairness and transparency. these are the drivers of decision-making rather than politics. with appropriate reforms in place to rico could expand renewable generation on the island. however, renewable power and other forms of distributed generation have limitations when it comes to meeting the immediate electricity demands of the island. i'd be glad to discussthis further during questioning . for puerto rico's energy future will take a multidisciplinary coordination and effort . throwing federal dollars that the problem and into the hands of the unregulated prepa will produce the same situation that has prevailed for decades. in addition to establishing a regulatory body , congress should take action to make the island investable. when prepa emerges from bankruptcy, it's credit rating will likely be low investment. funding institutions will find that unacceptable and be unwilling to participate in the financial structure.

citizens of puerto rico. we are in the midst of another political controversy if we have had three ceos in a matter of weeks into the simple question like who is actually in charge of the grid -- and i don't know who's following needs to be handled -- and that is something that needs to be changed. what's my healthier than the hearing is identifying the needs of change, the problems that we have with the status quo we recognize the status quo isn't working but more than that i hope the witnesses can lead us beyond that point to come up with specific sets of step a sps that needed to be taken to solve this problem and to make sure that we are very effective. i didn't mean to wake you. those objectives are. i don't think there's anyone that disagrees. the question isn't whether those objectives are appropriate or not. it's how do we get there from here. and i'm sorry right now we can't get from a to b. and that is one of the things i hope the hearing comes away with. contrary to what i heard as the goal i have

extent of the damage wouldn't be known for days. >> once you went inland, it looked like a bomb hit puerto rico. it looked like a war zone. complete destruction. everything was brown instead of green. the infrastructure, the electrical infrastructure in erto rico, was severely destroyed. s livan: maria left the entire island without power. and a thousand miles from the mainland, marshalling help would this is the most logistically challenging event the united states has ever seen. and we have been moving and pushing as fast as the situation allows. >> sullivan: two weeks later,e esident touched down to survey the situation. >> i think that the job of the first responders has been something like i've ner seen before. >> sullivan: and he sized up the response. >> i say we got an a-plus in texas, we got an a-plus in florida, and we may have done our best work here, but it hasn't been appreciated. >> sullivan: the president said... >> flashlights. you don't need them ymore. >> sullivan: ...everything was unr control. >> fema says it has the supplies it needs. >> there's a lot of good things happeni

6246 will send a clear message that he or she is standing up for a principle that the people of puerto rico are american citizens who have in war and peace made countless contributions and greatly enriched the life of this nation for generations. more than 250,000 puerto ricans have served in our military forces and bravely fought in every conflict since the great war. side by side with the citizens of other states. defending our democratic values all over the world. and yet they're denied the right to vote for their commander in chief. a large number of them have made the ultimate sacrifice in battle and when they do, their caskets are flown back to this country draped in an american flag that contains just 50 stars but none of those represent them and represent puerto rico. furthermore, those returning to the island and join the ranks of over 100,000 veterans living on the island and -- discriminates them and treats them as a second-class citizen. this is the reason i hope that hose inequities that has shown more than 100,000 puerto ricans have gone to the states for search of equality. t
