There have been a lot of contributions on various topics in the PR forum lately concerning emissions, the use of electric vehicles, and environmentalism in general. In light of this, I have started this topic on Puerto Rican energy policy so as to capture contributors' thoughts on these issues in one topic as opposed to having them spread amongst many.
To get the ball rolling, would the natural gas pipeline that was proposed under the Fortuno administration have helped? I'm referring to the so-called Via Verde project. If it would not have helped, what other alternatives are there to counteract PR's insane electricity prices while benefiting the environment? Are these two goals mutually exclusive?
