like we do, it is more of a moral obligation from that point forward. it may not have been the best business decision coming to work for a bankrupt island, i don t regret doing what we ve done and seeing people in great gratitude for the positive work that we ve done. we ve made a huge impact. would you do this again? um, i would. i would do a lot of things different. among some of the things he said he would do differently, he would ask for more money up front. now we reached out to prepa, the power authority here on the island. they tell us because this contract is under investigation they really don t want to go into too much details but they did admit they have stopped
let me clarify the numbers you were talking about. when we say half the island has power, that is based on generation, not distribution. so really the government still has no idea or claims to have no idea of how many people on this island have power. and now the ceo of whitefish is telling me in an interview we had with him that now that progress could be delayed because he is stopping all efforts on the island because he says the government of puerto rico owes him $83 million. i want you to watch my exchange with him. we stopped because of the financial situation and lack of payment with pre pa has gotten beyond its maximum threshold of what we can sustain as a business. how much do they owe you? $83 million. we came here because how could you not? if you come here and you have a skillset that can immediately help the people of puerto rico,
