No, but I prefer them being state-owned than private.

Agreed...PR privatized our electric grid recently...we have more frequent power outages now and much higher electric bills, very bad situation for poor residents (of which two third of my island falls into). It's not just the lack of lighting, most poor people who rely on electric power to refrigerate life saving drugs, keep getting screwed over with long periods of no electricity...and Luma is much more relentless with complety shitting power to late bill payers.

The only good thing of Luma coming to Puerto Rico...is that many places, including my low income apartment building, are transitioning to solar rapidly.
