Cuba’s got mucho useless copper and electric transformers lying about these days.
Cuban power’s still down as of my recent (halloween 2024) check. Some trick or treat for the climate activist freaks. They chased the treat and the people got tricked.
Six months after this story appeared about Cuba’s ten years of chasing the dream to cleaner, more resiliant energy system darkness settled.
Over the past 10 years, Cuba has begun to embark on an energy transition. Recent shifts in law and policy create new and promising opportunities and indicate a desire on the part of Cuba’s policymakers to transition to a cleaner, more climate resilient energy system. Cuba committed to generating 24% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030 as part of the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. Policymakers have subsequently announced their intent to increase renewable electricity generation to 37% by 2030. Additionally, in 2019, Cuba updated its constitution to explicitly state that the government must respond to climate change and aims to promote foreign investment for economic development. Cuba’s intention to transition to renewable energy generation is key, as renewables can provide climate change mitigation, reduced local air pollution, and resilience benefits over the current fossil fuel-fired power generation system.
For all you discounted victims of the Rockefeller dream… You bought their Revolucion! with your souls now dig down and think Resilience! It’s the marxist way.
