PR is far more geographically isolated from the mainland than anywhere other than Hawaii (and other outlying islands like Guam), and they also get a lot more sun than the mainland. going big into solar will result in more energy/less downtime when the next hurricane ravages their shores.

eh.... yes and no. I've lived in southern Louisiana and have been to the bayou any number of times - for the most part, the people that live there have houses on stilts as they deal with annual flooding from hurricanes - they also, seeming each and every one of them, own multiple boats and/or other watercraft. no, they'll be fine. the cities in southern Louisiana will be really fucked if they dont build seawalls, but they will - probably. eventually, and likely too late, but it'll happen - the Port of New Orleans is critical infrastructure, vital for international trade.

random man evades police, crashes car, breaks into someone's house & threatens them. police then solved the problem.

could still play out that way - but Nigeria isnt the most stable place, a hard shove or two would easily topple their house of cards

Rwanda is blameless then?
