Don't care how he does it, he's making more progress so far than anyone else.
"Tesla has used its solar panels and batteries to restore reliable electricity at San Juan's Hospital del Niño (Children's Hospital), in what company founder Elon Musk calls "the first of many solar+battery Tesla projects going live in Puerto Rico.""
What has this $300 million dollar contract accomplished so far?
The solar/battery panels are a quick perhaps temporary fix for now. The $3mil contract was to restore the actual grid.
What was the cost of the work done by Telsa thus far? I did read in the link that cost for this type power right now is very expensive.
Of course FEMA can help it they wanted to, but I think they might have stand-down orders because this Whitefish deal seems to have a connection to the WH.
It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard and make these claims without any knowledge.
FEMA does not have the authority to go in and do what they want.
Whitefish is not the only company doing the work. They are only doing a portion of the work required on the island. There are at least four or five other companies doing work.
Ramos said he has been pleased with the work done under Whitefish, and is only cancelling the contract because FEMA is questioning the project... and he needs FEMA's money.
Finn - your comment here is really clueless with regards to FEMA's role in the contract.

Who told you FEMA does not have the authority to help them find a reputable company to do the work? Breitbart?
The bottom line is, that "contract" was given to a company that had no business getting it. They didn't have the manpower or resources to fulfill it, and were only given that contract as a political favor. The people in PR would have never seen one watt of power from such an ill equipped company.
"The contract is the largest to be awarded since recovery efforts began over a month ago. And several lawmakers on Capitol Hill are calling for government reviews of how this small firm with only two employees at the time Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico was chosen over bigger, more established utilities."
This is just your opinion. You have no basis for such a statement.
