With 85% of Puerto Rico still without power and the President tweeting that we can’t stay in P.R. forever, here’s a story on how Elon Musk and Tesla have come up with a way to use battery and solar technology to power the island forever.

Thank you, Elon Musk, for always thinking big. Apparently, the P.R. Governor is ready to talk with Musk and his crew.
