Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation.
So that “drill baby drill” didn’t just backfire, it backfired spectacularly yo the point where I’m thinking that we still might have a chance to stop climate change. Thanks Cheetos!
Cuba was already on track to build solar farms back in 2023, with planned completion by 2025.
I hate to tell you, but building solar isn’t going to do it. We need to basically defy thermodynamics in order to decarbonize the oceans and atmosphere simply to SURVIVE climate change. We are not stopping it. It’s already at heat levels that were, at one point, predicted to arrive in the later half of this century.
I’m open to defying thermodynamics, if that’s what it takes!
