Fighting for Renewable Energy
In 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit Puerto Rico, causing widespread destruction. For six months, Notre Dame student Lucas Barreto's family went without power on an island totally dependent on traditional energy infrastructure.The experience solidified his desire to study engineering and help his home someday become energy stable. This spring, he returned home with a group of undergraduates and the ND Energy team to better understand the complex energy situation in Puerto Rico.Plans for renewable energy are still years away, but the group took early steps by installing solar panels for some of the residents most in need.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/FightingForRenewableEnergy
