Nearly 90% of Puerto Rico’s Population in Darkness, But They Can Televise NYE Celebration?

Strange things are afoot on New Year’s Eve.

We see that Puerto Rico has been plunged into darkness.

BUT the location of their New Year’s Eve celebration is fine?

The massive blackout struck early Tuesday, leaving 1.2 million without electricity.

That’s around 90% of the population on the island.

But the party must go on…apparently.

The question is, how?

Is the government over there covertly tapping into free energy?

Breitbart reports:

A blackout darkened almost all of Puerto Rico early Tuesday morning as the U.S. territory prepared for New Year’s celebrations.

The loss of power means more than 1.2 million out of 1.47 million clients on the island are in the dark with baffled local officials saying it could take up to two days to restore power.

AP reports the devastating mass outage hit at dawn, plunging Puerto Rico into an eerie silence as electrical appliances and air conditioners shut down before those who could afford generators quickly turned them on.

“It had to be on the 31st of December!” exclaimed one man quoted by the outlet, who only gave his name as Manuel, as he stood outside a grocery store in the capital of San Juan, grumbling about the outage that coincided with his birthday. “There is no happiness.”

Nearly 90 percent of 1.47 million clients across Puerto Rico were left in the dark, according to Luma Energy, a private company that oversees electricity transmission and distribution.

Many are asking why is there electricity to party, but not for the citizens.

It does feel like a plot from Hunger Games.

So is Puerto Rico like Hunger Games? Large power outages earlier today, but enough power downtown now to rock a large party ringing in the New Year? 🤔

I don’t get it. I thought 90% of Puerto Rico was without power. How are they lighting up an entire stage and party on the ABC New Year’s Eve show? Did they divert all the power for this performance?

But not all are in the dark.

And that’s thanks for Elon’s Tesla and Powerwalls.

Big shoutout to Tesla and Powerwalls! Despite the widespread power outage in Puerto Rico, my mom's place is one of the few with lights on this New Year's Eve! @Tesla @TeslaEnergy pic.twitter.com/N6HKGwLdkp
