Puerto Rico’s power crisis just took a sharp turn this week after President Donald Trump removed most of the island’s financial oversight board. The move comes amid a tense legal fight with Wall Street bondholders over the utility’s billions of dollars in debt and raises fears that Puerto Ricans could be stuck paying the full price for a failing electric grid. POLITICO’s Gloria Gonzalez breaks down the board shake-up, the backlash, and what it means for Puerto Rico’s energy future. Plus, the Trump administration is escalating its onslaught of actions against U.S. offshore wind development.
