Puerto Rico Loco!
Puerto Rico had a chance to re store it's power when instead decided to scrap the entire $300 million contract from the whitefish energy company. In San Juan Puerto Rico the head of the governments power company had announced that they will not be taking the offer of the three million dollar contract from whitefish energy company in order to investigate the contracts validity. Although the cancellation will delay much work to be done for about 10-12 weeks." There cannot be any kind of distraction that alters the commitment to restore electrical power as soon as possible in Puerto Rico." Although the restoration of Puerto Rico's power would have been extremely beneficial to their hurricane relief efforts. The whitefish energy company was stationed in a remote area in the mountains of north Montana and have only been around for two years with only two employees until the hurricane made landfall after that they had hired more than 300 in order to help with work in Puerto Rico."We will certainly finish any work that PREPA wants us to complete and stand by our commitments knowing that we made an important contribution to the restoration of the power grid since our arrival on the island on Oct. 2." Ricardo Rosella (The governor) had stated . Even though they are being safe rather than sorry this is also a big set back in order for Puerto Rico to move forward and get back to it's full strength. The Trump Administration had also stated that there were no political connections in this incident. Many investigations and audits are ongoing in order to get to the bottom of the Whitefish energy company and make sure they are legit, local and federal government are both involved in this, they are even keeping tabs on the company's purchase and contracting divisions. Still about 70 percent of Puerto Rico is without power, it's been over a month after the hurricane had struck. Puerto Rico is a place where a lot of people go to spend their vacations it is somewhere amazing but seeing struggling like this is very sad and disappointing not just the people on the outside but the people of Puerto Rico as well.

I agree what's going on in Puerto Rico still is very sad, but what is the truth to the Whtiefish energy company. I understand the Head of gov't want to check in on the contract, but what is wrong with this company. Also with the circumstances that is upon us with most of Puerto Rico not having power for about a month now why don't the company give to help with the progress. May this maybe be one of the reasons the head of gov't wanted to check in on the contract. All in all I believe this whole situation need to be ended fast so the people of Puerto Rico can get the help needed to return to its original ways.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with the fact that they wanted to make sure what the whitefish was offering was the right thing to do .although the delay will put them behind pace it is rather safe than sorry.If this company isn't legit and they still went through with the contracts it would put them futher behind and in more trouble than they are know.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the whole thing of how companies try to make money off of situations. Although it is helpful to the country but I am mostly worried about the why you wanted to do it and why do you want to help this country and what is your end goal I think these questions comes into play when a country faces companies trying to bud in " to help".
ReplyDeleteI'm just as skeptical about this Whitefish company as Puerto Rico is. It's a little odd that a company of only three workers that then sprouted to 300 would have 3 million dollars. Puerto Rico needs to make careful and estimated decisions because any missteps could end up hurting it in the long run even after they make it through this catastrophe.
