Cuba received donated equipment from China to install photovoltaic solar parks in several provinces, aiming to alleviate the energy crisis and reduce fuel consumption amid ongoing blackouts.

    Any Cuba understanders here? My understanding is one of the main issues for Cuba is fuel embargoes to power their country. Can renewables solve this for them?

      That’s my understanding as well. If China can help Cuba deploy solar at scale then their main problem goes away. Incidentally, this is true for the rest of the world as well. Aside from saving the environment, switching to solar means that countries are no longer tied to oil trade and that further lessens the grip of the empire.
