Proposed

Puerto Rico legislators are considering a bill that would eliminate renewable energy goals and extend the operations of the island's only coal-fired plant. This move is seen as a challenge to the territory's efforts to transition to renewable energy, which has been supported by federal funding. Environmentalists are alarmed by the potential health impacts of continued coal burning.
